England captain Michael Vaughan began the West Indies tour in storming fashion, stroking a century from 19 boundaries and a six before lunch on the first day of a three-day Test warm-up match against Jamaica on Monday.
But Vaughan's knock of 105 and the efforts of former captain Nasser Hussain (65) and wicketkeeper Chris Read (61) were the highlights as an almost full-strength side were bowled out for 320 in 78.1 overs on a low, slow wicket at Kingston's Sabina Park.
Jamaica were 25 for two in reply at stumps with swing bowler Matthew Hoggard dismissing both Brenton Parchment (0) and Donovan Pagon (6).
The visitors had chosen to bat first on the wicket, which will probably not be used for the first Test at Sabina Park next week, and were in trouble early on, losing Marcus Trescothick (7) and Mark Butcher (1).
Vaughan and Hussain then proceeded to score at a rate of better than a run per ball to take the visitors through to 154 for two at lunch.
The home side struck back in the second session taking four wickets with Vaughan the first to be dismissed just after the break when he was deceived by a Jermaine Lawson slower ball and played on.
Lawson, playing his first competitive game since May 2003 when he was called for throwing against Australia, proved lively in the opening overs.
Hussain then combined with left-hander Graham Thorpe (34), who was the only other top-order batsman to get into double figures, for a 45-run partnership before the former captain was trapped in front by off-spinner Bevon Brown.
England resumed after the tea interval on 257 for six and Read managed to nurse the tail through to 303 before he was stumped off a Brown delivery.
Hoggard (12) and fast bowler Steve Harmison (6 not out) then combined for a 17-run partnership to take the visitors through to 320 before Hoggard became Brown's third victim.
The 24-year-old was Jamaica's best bowler, finishing with figures of three for 74 off 20.1 overs.
With England only playing two three-day matches before the first Test starts on March 11 both teams have agreed to allow 12 players to participate with any 11 allowed to bat and field.
