England's four-match Test campaign against South Africa starts at Lord's on Thursday.

South African trio Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini and Morne Morkel are the men that remind Vaughan of West Indies greats Michael Holding, Joel Garner and Malcolm Marshall.

Dale Steyn

Makhaya Ntini

Morne Morkel

Vaughan said: 'We are going to need big scores and big hundreds and to get them against that kind of attack will be very rewarding.

'Pace bowling, like mystery spin, is always fascinating to watch and I guess this is a bit of a throwback to the 80s when the West Indies were around.'

Each of the Proteas' pacemen offers different attributes. Steyn is the quickest and the in-form wicket taker. Ntini angles the ball in at right-handers' bodies and Morkel extracts extra bounce at 90mph.
