England's batters must learn when to park their attacking 'Bazball' style and take a more cautious “old school” approach during the second Ashes Test, says former captain Michael Vaughan.

Ben Stokes leads his losing England team off the field at the first Ashes Test at Perth

Australia are 1-0 up in the series after England crumbled to an astonishing two-day defeat in the first Test in Perth where the tourists' shot selection was heavily criticised.

Ben Stokes' side now face the Aussies in a day-night Test in Brisbane which will be played with a pink ball.

Australia have a formidable record in day-night Tests having won 13 out of 14, including all three against England.

Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 Live's Ashes second Test preview show there was an “arrogance” about England's approach in Perth and they need to have better game awareness at the Gabba.

“This England side dance down. They run towards the danger,” Vaughan said.

“I'm not too sure that’s a sensible way to go with the ball zipping around. Play the old school way.
