Son of England Test great equals Graeme Swann feat with multiple U19 Test six-fors

In the first match of the two-game series, India U19 put up a massive score in the first innings, riding on captain Ayush Mhatre's 102 off 115 balls and three 70-plus scores from numbers five, six, and seven. They made 540 in 112.5 overs, of which 17 were bowled by Vaughan. The Indian batters took a liking to the off-spinner in the first innings, smashing him for 108 runs. He did, however, pick the wickets of Mhatre and No.4 batter Maulyarajsinh Chavda.

Vaughan then opened the batting for England U19 but was dismissed for two. The hosts showed the stomach for a fight, but despite contributions from almost every batter, including a 93 by Rocky Flintoff, they fell 101 runs short of India's total. In the second innings, Vaughan struck back with the ball.

He ran through India's top order, picking the first three wickets of the innings - Vaibhav Suryavanshi for 56 off 44, Mhatre for 32 off 43, and Chavda for 3 off 11. India got themselves up to 200-6 when Vaughan induced a lower-order collapse. He dismissed Mohammad Enaan and Henil Patel in the 47th over to complete his five-for, before adding another to his tally to finish with figures of 6-84 as India were bowled out for 248.

Archie Vaughan joins Graeme Swann with six-for

Vaughan became just the second English bowler to take two six-wicket hauls in Youth Tests. He had also taken 6-19 in 16 overs against South Africa U19 in Cape Town earlier this year. The only other to do before him was England's most successful off-spinner Graeme Swann. Swann had taken 6-46 and 8-118 against Pakistan U19 in two Youth Tests in August 1998.

Internationally, only one player has taken three six-wicket hauls in Youth Tests - Pakistan's Abdul Razzaq. Vaughan has joined 10 other players to have taken two six-fors in the format, including the likes of Rashid Khan, Saqlain Mushtaq, Ravi Shastri, and Tim Southee.
