However they were in a decent position towards the halfway stage when Evin Lewis holed out for 39 on the stroke of the drinks break.

The England bowlers adhered to their game plan and executed it perfectly, with Liam Dawson taking four wickets in his return to international cricket. He was also named Player of the Match.
