A disciplined performance by Canada's seamers restricted England to 243 all out despite fine half-centuries by Matt Prior and Jonathan Trott in a World Cup warm-up game on Wednesday.

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.
