The Somerset left-hander had made 37 when he top edged an attempted sweep to mid-wicket, but afterwards vowed to continue going for his shots.

"I played the shot the ball before and hit it well. The ball I got out to was in the same area and I'm not dwelling on it because mentally I was quite happy with what I was doing.

"It's happened all my career. I occasionally play a big shot and get myself caught at deep point or deep square leg, but that's the way I tend to play the game and nine times out of 10 it works well," he said.

Trescothick has been a big success since his debut against West Indies two years ago, but has only two centuries from 39 Test innings and admitted to feeling tired earlier this month after having to keep wicket as well during the one-day series.

He is, however, confident that his approach is the right one for him.

"That's the way I've played cricket all my life and there's no reason to change now just because I've not scored that many in this series.
