Cricket Test England captain Michael Vaughan was delighted after scoring a century in each innings at Lord's but knows his team still have to work hard if they are to complete victory against West Indies in the first Test.

Vaughan scored 101 not out on the fourth day, following his 103 in the first innings, to become only the second England batsman after Graham Gooch in 1990 to achieve the feat.

"To score two hundreds in any game of cricket is an achievement but I am delighted it is here at Lord's," he told a news conference on Sunday.

England declared on 325 for five at tea, setting the tourists a massive target of 478 for victory. When bad light stopped play for the day, West Indies were 114 for three.

Although England hold a clear advantage, Vaughan expects a tough final day, especially with key West Indies batsman Brian Lara not out 11.

"The three wickets tonight were crucial but tomorrow will be a hard day," said Vaughan. "It is still a hard deck (pitch) and it is important we stick to our discipline and, if chances come, to take them."

West Indies opener Chris Gayle, who made a robust 81 before being dismissed in the second innings, believes West Indies can win the match. "The plan is to play our natural game and be positive," he said. "It is still a good pitch to bat on but (England spinner) Ashley Giles will have the rough to his advantage."

A concern for England is the fitness of opener Mark Butcher, who missed the Lord's Test because of a neck injury and has since aggravated a thigh injury which could prevent his recall for the second Test starting in Birmingham on Thursday. However, Butcher's replacement for the opening Test, Robert Key, made the most of his opportunity with a commanding 221 in the first innings.

As the West Indies sought to close out the day, Shivnarine Chanderpaul (4 not out) was fortunate not to go for a duck after scoring 128 not out in the first innings when he appeared to glove Giles to Robert Key at silly mid on.

West Indies only hopes of drawing the game probably rest on the slight chance of rain on Monday and the battling skills of captain Brian Lara, who was unbeaten on 11 when dark clouds forced the players off early. Unusually, Lara took 18 balls to get off the mark.

Vaughan's effort is the ninth time an England player has scored a ton in each innings of a Test.
