Off-spinner Graeme Swann took three for 26 but his England team-mates were made to struggle in a 50-overs warm-up match against the Warriors franchise team at the Diamond Oval Sunday.
The Warriors team made a respectable 254 for five, with experienced left-hander Arno Jacobs making 83 not out off 83 balls. Namesake and captain Davy Jacobs hit 50 off 59 deliveries.
Just five days away from the opening international match of the tour, a Twenty20 international in Johannesburg Friday, England were without two pace bowlers because of injury.
Stuart Broad was rested because of what was described as a minor shoulder injury, while Graham Onions again sat out because of a sore back.
With the exception of Onions, England fielded all the members of the squad who did not play in the opening match against the Eagles in Bloemfontein on Friday.
While Swann took the majority of wickets, he was also the most economical of the England bowlers, bowling his full quota of ten overs.
Three of the Warriors wickets fell to stumpings by Matt Prior.
