The pitch encouraged Vaughan to continue with attacking fields and get his remaining powerplays - two five-over spells - out of the way. During the third one England took their first wicket.Gilchrist has yet to post a big score against England this summer. Poor shot selection has often led to his downfall, but yesterday he was strangled by a leg-sided ball from Harmison. At the end of the first one - the first 10 overs - Australia were 36 for 0.

The ball beat the bat, and there was plenty of oohing and aahing from a partisan crowd, but England's bowling was poor.Stephen Harmison and Andrew Flintoff were also disappointing, allowing the batsmen to watch too many deliveries pass by.The International Cricket Council has decided to call the three segments in which fielding restrictions now apply "power plays". But with the ball darting about Australia's openers were watchful. Adam Gilchrist struck the first ball of the day for four before pulling Jones for six in his third over. Had Ricky Ponting called correctly it is hard to see where Vikram Solanki would have featured in England's plans.Yet the cloud cover disappeared during the break between innings, and this altered the value of Australia's hard fought total.But thanks to Trescothick and Paul Collingwood's smartness with the ball, Solanki's sole role was to improve the quality of England's fielding.Simon Jones became the first player to be substituted after he had completed his 10 overs with figures of 0-28, respectable figures but both he and Darren Gough wasted the new ball in perfect bowling conditions.

He was given admirable support on the way to his 10th one-day hundred by Andrew Strauss and Vaughan, who each shared a century partnership with him.Vaughan gained the honour of taking England past Australia's 219 for 7 when he pulled Brett Lee for four, but Trescothick deservedly won the man-of-the-match. Those watching would have been wondering the effects of the recent rule changes.

Both teams used their substitutes, and the umpires took great pleasure in signalling when the fielding restrictions would be implemented, but the modifications had no bearing on the game.The margin of victory suggests that England outplayed Australia, but there will be very few days during the coming weeks when they have so much good fortune. Overnight rain and heavy cloud cover made the toss crucial, and England, who selected a specialist batsman as their substitute, were lucky to win it. Trescothick has pummelled most of the world's leading bowlers during his career, but before this game he had failed against Australia. Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie have continually got the better of the left-hander through exposing weaknesses in his technique. Such has been their control over Trescothick, that in 35 previous innings against Australia his highest score had been 82. But yesterday they had a taste of what he is capable of. The 29-year-old Trescothick rode his luck - he was caught off a no-ball on five and should have been given out caught behind on 81 - but there were plenty of powerful strokes too.
