Jofra Archer: England fast bowler's fiery spell to Glenn Phillips lights up The Oval on day one of second Test

Jofra Archer showed no signs of rust as he made his England Test return, the pacer producing a box-office, fiery eight-over spell of short-pitched bowling late on the first day of the second Test against New Zealand at The Oval.

The 31-year-old, playing in his first England Test since Adelaide in December - as his IPL commitments controversially kept him out of the series opener at Lord's - took 1-58 from his 19 overs after England inserted the opposition.

Archer had Tom Latham caught at gully off a leading edge in his second spell of the day, but it was his battle with Glenn Phillips late into the evening that really had people purring.

Archer went wicketless across eight tireless, back-breaking overs of short-pitched pace bowling that deserved greater reward, with Phillips - who failed to score a run for 36 minutes - repeatedly put on his backside as he tried to duck and weave his way out of trouble.
