Archer missed out on England's second Test in India with an elbow injury.

Meanwhile Sussex pair Danni Wyatt and Freya Davies were in action for England Women in their tour of New Zealand as the visitors took on a New Zealand XI.

With England batting first, Wyatt made a handy 35 off 42 balls in a total 299/9 before starring in the field with the run-out of Lauren Down.

Davies, whilst not needed with the bat, was able to stunt the hosts' chase by removing wicketkeeper Katey Martin for 24, finishing with figures of 1-40 from seven overs as England won by 20 runs.

Feb 23 1st ODI, Christchurch (d/n) (01:00 GMT)
