Archie Vaughan, following in the footsteps of his father Michael by captaining England's Young Lions, has applied the finishing touches as the national under-19 side completed a comprehensive victory in their youth Test against South Africa in Cape Town.

The 19-year-old Vaughan, who's one of the rising stars in the English game, finished with spectacular figures of 6-19 off 16 overs as the tourists quickly knocked over the remainder of the tail on day four as South Africa crumbled to 153 all out in the second knock.

Somerset player Vaughan then opened the batting alongside Ben Dawkins, with the pair knocking off a minimal target of 25 in just 19 balls.

It concluded a fine all-round performance for Vaughan, who finished 10 not out off eight balls as England romped to the finish line to seal a 1-0 series win after also having come within a single wicket of taking the drawn first Test.
