Vaughan Pleased With Fitness and Form

Michael Vaughan said he was delighted at the way his knee had responded to its first big test after scoring 127 in England's drawn match against Queensland.

His form and fitness are a boost to the tourists ahead of the first Ashes Test, which starts on Thursday.

Vaughan was on the field either fielding or batting for most of the three days against Queensland.

"I'm delighted with the way it's gone," he said.

"It was probably the perfect game for me with four or five sessions in the field, and three or four out there batting - it was a true test of whether the knee is fit and it's come through really well.

"I was a bit concerned before the match, like any injury you're a bit concerned when you come back, but it got stronger with every hour in the field on the first day and I grew in confidence from that."

England reached 322 for seven in reply to Queensland's 582 all out before bad light brought an early end to the three-day match in Brisbane.
