England head coach Brendon McCullum is "hopeful" Jofra Archer will be available for the second Test against New Zealand as he reflected on Emilio Gay's "super-impressive" display in the first Test after feeling the Durham batter was "spinning" ahead of his debut.
Fast-bowler Archer missed the 115-run rout of the Black Caps' at Lord's, with England leaving him out of their squad after feeling he was not yet ready for a red-ball return following a stint in the IPL - a situation Sky Sports' Simon Doull branded "ludicrous".
