Bell helped the tourists recover from a mid-afternoon wobble at 203-5 with a patient 78 on a lively wicket.
But five wickets fell for 36 runs and England were bowled out for 299, with Paul Collingwood left unbeaten on 47.
Vaughan (54) and Strauss (51) shared a century stand but Kevin Pietersen (26) and Andrew Flintoff (20) went cheaply.

Marcus Trescothick overcame a bout of flu to hit a sprightly 23 not out, with four boundaries in a single over.
Earlier there was a wicket each for pace bowlers Steve Harmison and Matthew Hoggard and spinner Monty Panesar.
And Kevin Pietersen, Michael Vaughan and Andrew Flintoff all made dismissals with direct hits from the field.

The Venue
Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai (Bombay)
February 18, 2006
Mumbai (Bombay) is regarded as India's cricket capital, and that point has been reinforced since the emergence of hometown hero Sachin Tendulkar .
England won a Test at the Wankhede in 1980 when Ian Botham produced one of the great all-round performances, with 13 wickets and a score of 114.
But since then, England have lost twice, on the 1984-85 tour and in 1993.
The wicket tends to favour swing in the morning sessions while the spinners get some help over the last two days.
