Vaughan: England's pacemen have already left a mark on traumatised Aussie batters

- BY DAVID CHARLESWORTH

MICHAEL VAUGHAN reckons England's fast bowling cartel have already opened up "scars" on Australia's batters following a gripping opening to the Ashes series in Perth.

England were grateful for their five-pronged pace attack after being bulldozed for 172 in their first innings, with captain Ben Stokes leading the way by collecting 5-23 in response as Australia struggled even more badly on a spicy pitch.

Brydon Carse claimed a couple of wickets, as did Jofra Archer, who shared an electric new-ball spell with the luckless Gus Atkinson, while Steve Smith (above, right) weathered a couple of blows on his elbow and the fiery Mark Wood clattered Cameron Green (above, left) on the helmet.
