England's batsmen stumbled in the second innings before a thunderstorm brought an early end to their three-day match against a South African Invitation team at Senwes Park on Thursday (December 17).
England were bowled out for 190 in their second innings, with none of their batsmen able to notch a half-century. Joe Root was the top scorer with 39.
Junior Dala, a regular member of the Titans franchise team for limited overs matches but not selected for their first-class team, took 5 for 34, while fellow seamer, 19-year-old Andile Phehlukwayo, took 3 for 36.
With England leading by 472 runs, the Invitation team reached 5 for 0 before rain ended play.
The tourists will meet tougher opposition when they come up against South Africa A in a three-day match in Pietermaritzburg, starting on Sunday.
The first of four-Test series against South Africa starts in Durban on December 26.
