England urged to be patient with Archer for second India Test

The return to first-class cricket had been earmarked by national selector Luke Wright as a potential path back into Test cricket for Archer, but Vaughan sees no reason to rush the classy right-armer in for the second Test against India given England hold a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

Vaughan thinks Archer should play another four-day match for Sussex against Warwickshire commencing on Sunday and see how his injury-plagued body recovers before he should be considered for a Test recall.

"The good thing is that Jofra is back in the equation - but I'd like to see him play another four-day game," Vaughan told the BBC.

"He's not played the longer format for four years so why, on the back of one game for Sussex against Durham, would you rush him back?

"We know the intensity at Test-match level is so different to county cricket. Let him play another four-day game - I would go with the same line-up, as long as the bowlers are fine and there are no niggles."
