Steady start as England chase record target

England openers Marcus Trescothick and Andrew Strauss gave England a solid start in pursuit of the record-breaking 420 target needed to defeat Australia in the first Ashes Test at Lord’s.

The pair did not look entirely comfortable, particularly against paceman Brett Lee and spinner Shane Warne, but they negotiated 22 overs before tea to reach 65 without loss, chasing 420.
