ROBERT KEY continued where he left off at Lord's this morning, swiftly reaching his double century.

He reached the landmark by clipping Collins for four, eclipsing his own highest score of 199 in the process.

Soon afterwards, however, his mammoth innings came to an end on 221 as he cut Bravo to Brian Lara at backward point. He left the field to a standing ovation.

England have since passed the 500 mark with captain Michael Vaughan and Graeme Thorpe at the crease.
