‘Try-series’ ahead for England

But when the teams last met in a one-day international, England beat Australia by six wickets in the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy at Edgbaston in September.

As Ricky Ponting’s side arrived in England yesterday looking to extend an Australian run of eight successive Ashes series wins, Vaughan said it was vital England made a good impression in the one-dayers before the first Test at Lord’s on July 21.

‘‘There’s still a fair way to go before that first game’’, vaughan told reporters after England wrapped up a 2-0 Test series win over struggling Bangladesh with an innings and 27 run-victory inside three days at the Riverside here yesterday. ‘‘Injuries can occur but hopefully that won’t happen. We’ve just got to make sure we play some good cricket in the one-day games.’’ Vaughan’s whose side face Australia for the first time this season in a Twenty20 match at Hampshire’s Rose Bowl ground a week today before taking on Bangladesh in the triangular opener at the Oval on June 16.
