New Delhi: Former England skipper Kevin Pietersen has found a hilarious way of playing tearaway pacer Jofra Archer as he took to Instagram to post a video which shows the batsman heading the bouncer to the slip fielder.

Barbados-born Archer had one of the most memorable Test debuts in the recent times during the second Ashes Test between England and Australia at Lord''s.

He announced himself in the red-ball circuit with a relentless, hostile spell of fast bowling which put even the likes of Steve Smith in all sorts of discomfort during the course of the game, reminding fans of the famous bodyline series.

Even though the second Ashes Test ended in a draw, it provided cricket lovers across the world with a glimpse of what was there in store in the future.

One of the moments of the game -- although it led to the England player skipping a beat -- was when Archer bowled a ferocious bouncer to Smith which floored the former Australian skipper.
