England boosted by five-run win over India in final T20 World Cup warm-up

• Sciver-Brunt back to ‘normal self’ with half-century

• Jones: ‘I feel everything has been ticked off’

England’s World Cup preparations concluded with a five-run win in their final warm-up against India at Cardiff, in what will be a vital confidence-booster ahead of their tournament opener against Sri Lanka on Friday evening.

England hit 171 for six, including a half-century from Nat Sciver-Brunt - the most time the England captain has spent at the crease since she suffered a calf injury six weeks ago. “She looks back to her normal self after a little bit of a break,” teammate Amy Jones said, after sharing a 70-run partnership with her skipper. “It was great to see her whacking it everywhere.”
