LEEDS, England (Reuters) - Australia batsman David Warner described England fast bowler Jofra Archer as "world class" after he picked up his first five-wicket haul in test cricket to help dismiss the touring side for 179 in the third Ashes test on Thursday.

Barbados-born Archer, who made his test debut in the last match at Lord's, ripped through the Australians with figures of 6-45 on a weather-affected opening day to put England in command as they look to level the series at 1-1.
