A century from Marcus Trescothick helped England to 313 for five at stumps on day one of the second Test on Thursday but the West Indies will be satisfied with their day's work at Edgbaston.

Trescothick hit 19 fours in a powerful innings before he was dismissed for 105, his seventh Test hundred.

Lack of foot movement was his undoing, thrashing at a wide Dwayne Bravo ball that Brian Lara at slip parried above his head and gathered at the second attempt.

Graham Thorpe compiled a patient 61 before deflecting the ball on to his hip and into Ridley Jacobs's gloves to give Corey Collymore his first wicket.

Collymore, only called into the squad last week to add experience to the tourists' young attack, was named in place of the injured Tino Best and bowled a consistent line early on but was expensive as the day wore on.

When bad light ended play with five overs left, Andrew Flintoff showed his growing maturity with 42 not out while Geraint Jones was on 27.

JUGGLING CATCH

West Indies had earlier snatched two wickets in the afternoon session with first Test double centurion Robert Key (29) edging a good length Pedro Collins ball to Lara.

Bravo then took a juggling catch to dismiss Michael Vaughan caught-and-bowled for 12.

The 20-year-old, playing in only his second Test, looked lively throughout recording figures of two for 42 from 16 overs.

West Indies were roundly criticised, particularly for their sloppy fielding, after last week's 210-run first Test defeat at Lord's.

However, on Thursday they appeared far more focused.

Trescothick had earlier put on 77 with Andrew Strauss for the first wicket before Strauss (24) chased a wide Jermaine Lawson delivery and edged behind.

Paceman Lawson, who replaced Fidel Edwards, bowled tidily going for 47 runs from 17 overs.

Vaughan's decision to bat first looked sound on a pitch that is just as flat as the first Test wicket at Lord's that yielded over 1,500 runs.

England lead the four-match series 1-0.
