Vaughan plays down injury concern

Vaughan made 18 before he was caught at square leg

Captain Michael Vaughan insisted he had no new injury worries despite having an ice-pack applied to his hamstring during England's win over Bermuda.

England bowled out Bermuda for just 45 as they won a one-sided World Cup warm-up match in St Vincent on Monday.

"There's nothing to read into the fact that I have an ice-pack on my hamstring," Vaughan told Five Live.

"I have an ice-pack on most parts of my body these days. I'm pleased that I've come through."

Vaughan, who made just 18 runs off 15 balls, added: "I'd like to have had another 30 (runs) or an hour at the crease batting, but 10 overs was always going to be the maximum they were going to allow me to field today.

"I came through it well."

England skittled out Bermuda for a paltry 45, and Vaughan said: "It was nice to give some of the bowlers four or five overs each."

Vaughan also confirmed that Ed Joyce would again open with him in Friday's game against Australia, meaning Andrew Strauss will again miss out.

Any spinner that drags Kevin Pietersen out of his crease and does him in the flight is a good bowler Michael Vaughan on Bermuda's Dwayne Leverock

"That's what we have gone with today and unless things change dramatically it will be what we will be going in with in the game against Australia on Friday," said Vaughan, who made 18 with the bat.

Jon Lewis took three wickets, comfortably out-bowling Sajid Mahmood in a strong return from injury for the Gloucestershire veteran.

Vaughan admitted it would be difficult to pick the seamers for their tournament opener against New Zealand on 16 March.

"It was tricky to gauge on who did what today but it's going to be a hard shoot-out to see who gets those positions," he said.

"It gives us a headache but it's a nice headache."

England were given a brief scare in their own innings by burly spinner Dwayne Leverock.

Vaughan paid tribute to the 20-stone policeman, who dismissed Paul Collingwood and Kevin Pietersen in quick succession.

"He bowled very well," said the England captain. "Any spinner that drags Kevin Pietersen out of his crease and does him in the flight is a good bowler."

"I enjoyed myself and just relaxed," said 35-year-old Leverock. "It was the first time I have played against a team like this.

"I settled into a rhythm and when I settled I took wickets. The wicket gave me turn and bounce and I used it to my advantage."
