We're looking forward to getting home Michael Vaughan More photos

Marcus Trescothick led the way with a 57-ball 82 as England's five wicket win squared the rain-hit series 2-2.

Vaughan said: "The way Tres hit the ball was a joy for us to watch.

"We've played a hard-fought series and I'm delighted to have come back after a tough weekend in St Lucia. We're looking forward to getting home."

England restricted the Windies, who were sent in to bat, to 261-6 despite Ramnaresh Sarwan striking an unbeaten 104.

Trescothick teed up victory with his savage innings, though Andy Strauss (66) and Paul Collingwood (46 not out) also made key contributions.

"It's been the case in the four games that whoever's won the toss has won the match," Vaughan said.

"Full credit to the bowlers for keeping the score down.

"We'd have liked to have won the series and over the weekend in St Lucia the West Indies chased down two good totals.

"It was disappointing that three games were washed out as that would have been three more games' experience for our players."

England's Test side is in action in just over two weeks against New Zealand at Lord's.

Vaughan added: "We're looking forward to having a little bit of rest and then facing New Zealand in two weeks."

Beaten skipper Brian Lara was unhappy his bowlers allowed England to race to 111-1 after just 15 overs of their reply.

"I thought getting 261 was a great effort after falling to 90-4," Lara said.

"I thought Sarwan played really well, kept the innings together and scored a brilliant hundred.

"Where we went wrong was in the first 15 overs in the field.

"England and Trescothick were getting the ball away to the boundary too easily and it set up an easy run-chase at the end."

But the Windies skipper took positives from the drawn series.

"Seeing young players like Dwayne Smith, Dwayne Bravo and Ravi Rampaul playing a part in St Lucia, as well as good performances from Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Chris Gayle augurs well for the future," he said.

"I'm confident the guys can bounce back and learn from this series."
