Chris Silverwood is adamant England have done everything they can to look after Jofra Archer since his dramatic late withdrawal from the second Test after breaking bio-secure regulations.

‘We’ve been in touch with him all the way through the Test,’ said the coach before seeing Archer’s Sportsmail column. ‘As we’ve said, we try to look after our players to the best of our ability.
