The Somerset left-hander has managed just 39 runs from his three innings so far but is now arriving at a ground where he has previously enjoyed plenty of success while on England duty against New Zealand in 2004.

The 30-year-old Trescothick said: “Of course I want to get runs every time I go out to bat so it is not an ideal situation. I have not seen things as I would have liked to over the last couple of games or played as well as I can do. Hopefully it will kick back in this week. Some grounds you pick the ball up better. Whether this is one of those grounds I don’t know but it always seems to work for me here. It’s always nice when you turn up at a ground knowing the last time you were here you did well,” said the only English batsman to reach three figures during England's recent 5-0 one-day series thrashing by Sri Lanka.
