Khurram Chohan and Harvir Baidwan shared six wickets to dent England's progress after skipper Andrew Strauss won the toss and elected to bat at the Fatullah stadium in Dhaka.
Chohan, a Pakistani import in the eclectic Canadian side, removed Strauss (one) and Kevin Pietersen before accounting for Ian Bell (eight) to return figures of 3-34 off nine overs.
Pietersen, a surprise promotion to the opener's slot, inside edged on to his leg-stump after making 24 off 28 balls, including three fours and a six.
Trott arrested the slide with a cautious 81-ball 57 and found an able partner in Prior, who hit four fours and a six in his innings to lend respectability to England's total.
Prior added 54 with Trott, who mistimed a sweep against off-spinner John Davison, and then 51 with Stuart Broad after his Sussex team-mates Mike Yardy and Luke Wright both fell cheaply to Henry Osinde.
Prior was eventually bowled by Harvir Baidwan, who finished with 3-50.
England will play their second warm-up against Pakistan on Friday before taking on the Netherlands in the World Cup in Nagpur on February 22.
