 | | The resurrection of Marcus Trescothick, after a winter in turmoil, took another step forward yesterday when midway through a sunny afternoon at Wantage Road, he stood tall and belted a good length ball from Ben Phillips to the extra cover boundary to reach a century. |
 | | In all he hit 26 fours, with a full compendium of Trescothick shots: drives struck with the minimum of fuss; the sweep, of course, and once in a while the slog-sweep, fetched from way outside off stump and helped over midwicket; the chop to third man played impossibly late off the spinners. |
 | | Apart from one over when Trescothick swept him twice and then drove him through the covers, he generally kept things quiet until his figures took some denting as the innings drew to a close. |
