Potts getting up to speed for touring

MATT SEEKING MORE PACE

- Gary Fitzgerald

MATTHEW POTTS is aware of the need for speed today to help turn the ODI series on its head and prove he will not be a passenger in Pakistan.

The Durham fast bowler may lack the lightning, destructive pace of Jofra Archer or Mark Wood.

But he is convinced more there are "explosive" deliveries lurking in his locker.

Potts, 25, hopes to unleash a few at Lord's as against Australia, England bid to level the five-match series and set up a thrilling decider in Bristol on Sunday.

Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes continue to highlight out-and-out speed and the desire to play dynamic, aggressive cricket in all formats.
