A brutal half-century from Will Jacks has proved the difference for England as they moved into the Super Eight stage of the Twenty20 World Cup. As against Nepal and Scotland England were far from convincing but did enough, completing a trio of wins over associate nations in a group weakened by the withdrawal of Bangladesh.
Monday's victory at Eden Gardens in Kolkata meant England finished second in group C, behind West Indies who also qualify, and now go to Sri Lanka for the next stage.
England will need to improve markedly if they are to reach the last four, but after a chastening Ashes loss they will be relieved at avoiding an embarrassing loss.
