Vaughan slips from top spot in PwC ratings

Michael Vaughan has relinquished his title as the top-ranked batsman in Test cricket, following his failure during England's innings victory over Zimbabwe at Lord's.

Vaughan managed just eight runs in his only innings of the match, and Australia's Matthew Hayden has moved ahead of him by a single point, thanks to his century in the final Test against West Indies in Antigua last week.

Other Englishmen have made gains after the Lord's victory. Marcus Trescothick has moved up to 18th place after a fluent 59, while Mark Butcher, who scored a century and took five wickets, is 21st.

Shaun Pollock, who arrives in England in June to compete in a five-Test series for South Africa, remains at the top of the bowling stakes, ahead of Australia's Glenn McGrath.
