Jofra Archer has escaped an additional ban after breaching England team protocols with an unauthorised trip home, landing an undisclosed fine and a written warning instead

The pace bowler breached the strict guidelines by taking a brief detour to his flat in Hove between the first and second Tests against the West Indies, during which he met with an individual from outside the 'bio-secure' bubble.

The transgression saw him withdrawn from the ongoing match at Old Trafford but a disciplinary hearing body has decided to take a lenient approach.

Archer can rejoin the squad - Covid test pending - on Tuesday.

There was no play overnight on day three dude to rain.
