Vaughan upbeat for Ashes contest
First Test, Lord's: England v Australia
Match starts 1030 BST Thursday
England leave out Tremlett
England begin the Ashes series against Australia at Lord's with the talent and self-confidence to give the world's best team a run for their money.
Skipper Michael Vaughan says their showing in the one-day series has alerted Australia to what they can do.
"I think they realise we're developing as a team. They believe we have match winners in the team.
"We hadn't beaten them for a long time but we were competitive until the last two games," Vaughan told BBC Five Live.
We've got to come to terms with the first game
Michael Vaughan
England have not beaten Australia at Lord's in 71 years, and have won only five of 32 matches between the sides at the home of cricket.
Balanced against that, however, is a record of 14 wins and only one defeat in their last 18 Tests, played against West Indies, New Zealand, South Africa and Bangladesh.
Vaughan said: "We can't control the fact that we haven't beaten them here since 1934; all we can control is the next five days.
"We're trying to break the Ashes series into small parts so we'll focus on the first day, the first session.
"It's important that we don't get too far ahead of ourselves. We've got to come to terms with the first game."
Here's to a classic set of Test matches

Have your say on TMS
Aussie captain Ricky Ponting has yet to lose a match in any form of cricket at Lord's, a ground he says is "almost like a second home" for his side.
The touring team's eyes are firmly set on the pavilion boards which record Test centuries and five-wicket hauls.
"It's a great feeling playing here and there are lots of great memories," said Ponting.
"There are plenty of Australian names on the boards and there are plenty of guys who want their names up there."
Australia will wait to see whether pace bowler Jason Gillespie has recovered from a sore knee before naming their XI.

Australia handed Gillespie boost
But Ponting refused to confirm the final bowling place was a direct choice between Gillespie and Michael Kaspowicz.
"Jason had a day off but listening to the physio I don't think there will be any problems with him," he said.
"But there are five bowlers and three spots and Shaun Tait has been bowling well in the nets."
England will go into the side with their first-choice XI, having left seamer Chris Tremlett out of the squad.
Feature: No experience required
Debutant Kevin Pietersen is one of five England players appearing in their first Ashes Test, which Ponting says could be a "massive negative".
But Vaughan argued: "For 18 years we haven't competed in the Ashes with experienced teams.
"This is a young team with no scars. Let's see how these young lads go."

That's not really the point anyway. This country is supposed to be about a balance between right and left, a pendulum. That pendulum broke off in 2000.
Our esteemed colleagues to the right prefer a dictatorship, an idiogarchy (hey I think I invented that word! "Rule by Idiots!)- I have no wish to return the favor. I don't want a democratic dictatorship either. I want a return to sanity.
Sadly, this position leaves me labeled as "unhinged"!
Whatever!
Hey, how many troops does Irael have in Iraq? Aren't they part of our mighty coalition?
Cuz yer either with us, or yer with the terrorists! No exceptions! |

They won't allow Israelis on Arab soil or we would have won already....
Yes, the righties seek a country where women must use coat hangers to have an abortion, they hate gay people, and they seek to have the country run by big corporations free of lawsuits while their products maime people. |

"They"? Who is exactly are "they" and since when does Israel give a fuck what "they" think?
"They" are not too happy about Americans on the Arabian peninsula either. But OUR god told us it was okay. What, does YOUR god tell you something different? Aren't both our gods in the same book?
Man, I get these fairy tales all mixed up. |

hey there S& K
looking forward to the series too
hopefully it will be a real contest - the first since '89
i would expect mick and charlie to put in appearance at at least one of the matches
as ponting has noted i think the first hour of the first test will be crucial to the entire series |
