Vaughan’s side leads the four-Test series 2-0 after convincing wins at Sabina Park and Queen’s Park Oval, and the opening batsman has indicated that they intend to play to win this and the remaining matches on the tour.

“I do not think trying to play for draws, especially here in the Caribbean, is going to work,” Vaughan told reporters at the pre-match news conference yesterday.

“We will be looking to play in the same spirit and manner as we did in the first two Tests. It could be different because the pitch might not favour the bowlers and you might see a different game in that form, but we will definitely be trying to win the match.”

A victory in the third Test will make Vaughan and his side the first England team to complete a Test series victory over West Indies in the Caribbean, but that’s not the focus on the team.

“The players are very focused and are just doing their jobs as normal,” Vaughan said. “There has been no talk of 2-0 at all over the last few days.

“They simply see this Test as a huge match in Barbados with a huge English following and we have to play a good game of cricket and, once we do this, we all know what the results will be.

“We are 2-0 up and a clean sweep of the series is an achievable goal if we play really well. We are just focusing right now on this match in Barbados, if we play well and have a bit of fortune, we should have a good chance of a sweep, but it will take a huge team effort.”

Vaughan believes that if his side can complete a series victory, it will be a major boost for English cricket.

“We are in a fantastic position leading 2-0, but I keep saying that this side is nowhere near the finished article,” he said.

“We have a youngest set of lads and we are looking at 60 per cent being the finished article, so we are a long way off from where we want to be, but we are progressing pretty nicely.”

Similarly, Vaughan described his opponents as a very talented bunch of cricketers that have been outplayed by a slightly more experienced team.

“They have been in some very good positions in both Tests and both matches could have gone either way,” he said.

“But in the tough moments in both matches, we came through them. In the tough moments for the West Indies side, we have been able to get on top of them and drill home our advantage and that’s been the difference between the two sides.”

The Kensington Oval pitch has become the centre of attention, particularly since last year’s Test against Australia, when it was awfully slow. Vaughan believes if the predictions about its improvement are correct, his side’s chances of victory are enhanced.

“Obviously, Steve Harmison will come into the play again and we are pretty fortunate to have all the areas covered - swing from Matthew Hoggard, bounce from Steve Harmison, and if it’s low and skiddy we have Simon Jones,” he said.

“It looks a decent pitch. There’s some grass on it and from the history of the Barbadian pitches, there have been a few runs scored here. It looks like it will be a fast outfield, but we still have to play well.”

Vaughan revealed that England will have the same 11 that has played in the first two Tests which is good for the confidence of the team, but would like for Marcus Trescothick and himself to give the side a much better opening partnership than in the previous Tests.

“We are a team and we have to get a total on the board whichever way we can,” he said.

“The middle order has gotten us out of some tricky situations so far, because Trescothick and I have not gotten us off to good starts, but that has to change. We have to get England off to good starts and we can start by getting us off to a good start here.”
