Vaughan, Bell steady Eng

A partnership of 82 between captain Michael Vaughan and debutant Ian Bell steadied England after they had lost two quick wickets after lunch on the first day of the fourth Test against the West Indies at the Oval here on Thursday.
At the tea interval, England were 146-3 with Vaughan 44 not out and Bell unbeaten on 31.
Resuming at 53-1 after lunch, having won the toss, England were quickly put on the back foot when Marcus Trescothick and Robert Key were both dismissed in the space of five balls with the score on 64.
Trescothick scratched around for 14 balls after the interval without scoring when he clipped Fidel Edwards off his toes only to see the ball go straight to Ramnaresh Sarwan at square leg.
He made 30 from 78 balls in 123 minutes hitting six fours whilst Edwards bowled a lively spell of one for 17 from 17 overs after the break.
The West Indies struck in the next over, bowled by Dwayne Bravo, when Key attempted to cut a delivery that was too close to him only succeeded in edging to wicket-keeper Carlton Baugh, for 10.
Key's fall brought in Bell who has
enjoyed a prolific summer with Warwickshire in English domestic cricket and he endured a baptism of fire from the West Indies quick bowlers.
He survived a big shout for leg before from his first ball, from Bravo, and was hit on the shoulder by Edwards before he had scored.
After treatment from the England physio Bell soldiered on and eventually got off the mark, after 11 scoreless balls, when he edged Edwards over the slips for four.
His confidence grew with a push through mid-wicket off Bravo for three and he got more runs when a poor piece of fielding saw Dwayne Smith let the ball go past.
At the other end, Vaughan, in his 50th Test match, started slowly before unfurling a series of trademark drives and hitting three fours in one over from Smith.
He and Bell passed the 50 partnership for the fourth wicket from 96 balls as they batted England back into the match after their post-lunch wobble.
Andrew Strauss (14) had perished before lunch, with the score on 51 when he attempted an over-ambitious pull off Jermaine Lawson, and Edwards took a neat catch running round from mid-on. England lead the series 3-0 with this final match to play and if they win will have recorded seven consecutive victories. They last achieved this feat in
1929 under the leadership of Percy Chapman.
