Hampshire Academy all-rounder Tom Scriven took two top order Namibia scalps as England romped to an eight-wicket win over Namibia in their opening ICC Under-19 group match in picturesque Queenstown on New Zealand's South Island.
Bowling first change, the West Ilsley-based right-arm seamer took England's first wicket after the Namibia openers had put on 42 and struck again in his second of three spells to finish with 2-30 off nine overs, one of which was a maiden.
Namibia eventually ground it out to 196-9 - a target England polished off in 25 overs and so boost confidence ahead of Wednesday's tougher looking test with Bangladesh, who have won both their Group C games.
