England defeated Hyderabad XI by 56 runs in their 50-over warm-up match at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium here on Saturday.

Chasing a target of 220 runs, Hyderabad were all out for 163 in 36.5 overs.

Hyderabad opener P.A. Reddy opened the innings dramatically by hitting the first ball for a six but was run out the next ball. Captain D.B. Ravi Teja disappointed, getting bowled by Steven Finn in the second over for one run.

It was Yadav and N.R. Bist (29, 50 balls) who provided some stability, posting 55 runs for the third wicket.

Finn ended the innings with a hat-trick, bowling A.J. Shinde and P.K.K. Naidu and dismissing Anwar Ahmad on the third, fourth and fifth balls of the 36th over.

Electing to bat after winning the toss in the day-night match, England were all out for 219 in 47.2 overs.

Ravi Bopara top scored with 73 runs while Chris Woakes remained unbeaten on 46.
