Vaughan hopes to keep the runs coming

Michael Vaughan hopes to continue his fine batting form tomorrow as England bid to avoid only the second-ever Ashes series whitewash in Australia. The Yorkshire player today became England's most successful batsman on an Ashes tour for over 30 years by recording his third century of the series to put the tourists into a commanding position in the final Test at the SCG.

Vaughan, the leading run-scorer in world cricket last year with 1481 runs, picked up where he left off in 2003 to hit an unbeaten 113 and guide England to a promising 218 for two at the close of the the third day.

"When there is a full house in the adrenaline flows. Maybe in the morning I might be a bit stiff but I'll have a rub down and hopefully score a few more runs," Vaughan told Sky Sports News. "I had a decent start. Going in was quite a nervous moment but from the time I got off the mark I felt in pretty good touch."

"When you are in a rhythm you just want to score as many boundaries as you can but you have to tell yourself not to be too clever. At the moment I am playing well and hopefully that can continue tomorrow," Vaughan added.
