Marcus Trescothick is keen to make the most of the form that has seen him score three centuries against Bangladesh so far this year. The left-hander hit an unbeaten 100 in his 100th one-day international.
And he said: "I'm seeing the ball well, concentrating hard, and I've just got to make the most of my form.
"Five years ago I made my debut and it seems to have gone really quickly. I've enjoyed my time immensely and there are some good times to come."

Tougher challenges will come soon for England and Trescothick, with the first one-day international against Australia in Bristol on Sunday.
England captain Michael Vaughan paid tribute to his new-look opening pair of Trescothick and Andrew Strauss, brought together after a failed experiment with Geraint Jones.
But he also had words of praise for Aftab Ahmed, who hit an impressive 51 in Bangladesh's total of 190.
"It's English conditions and we thought a more traditional game would suit our conditions better and it's a good start for them," said Vaughan.
"Aftab in the middle of the innings played a beautiful fifty with some lovely shots and looks a real prospect."
Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar was left at a loss by his side's undisciplined batting and bowling. "We didn't bowl very well, we bowled all over, but when batting we lost too many early wickets," he said.
"We've been working on that and hopefully with five more games something will come from it.
Of his bowlers he added: "They need to be more patient, bowling in the same channel, then I wouldn't have to change the field all the time."
