Vaughan struggle continues

08 January 2007
Vaughan extended his trot to just 12 runs in four innings in the Caribbean when he chopped a delivery from Shaun Tait into his stumps.
Frustratingly for England, who need to beat the reigning champions to enhance their prospects of advancing from the Super Eight stage to the semi-finals, the recalled Andrew Strauss fell in the same manner to the slingy pace of Tait.
That left England 39 for two after 10 overs at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, the venue of Wednesday's last-ball defeat to Sri Lanka.
With Ed Joyce dropped despite hitting two half-centuries in the tournament, Ian Bell was promoted to open alongside Vaughan and got off the mark from the first ball when he guided a full toss from left-armer Nathan Bracken through the covers for two.
The slow nature of the surface made piercing the infield difficult but both Bell and Kevin Pietersen used Tait's pace to hit boundaries straight down the ground.
Bell then took the attack to veteran Glenn McGrath, whose first over cost eight runs, including a lofted drive over mid-off for four.
