England 286-8 v Bermuda 28-5 (13 overs)
Jamie Dalrymple made 76, his best score for England, as his team recovered from 132-5 to reach 286-8 against Bermuda.
Paul Collingwood and Kevin Pietersen were dismissed by 20-stone policeman Dwayne Leverock as England stumbled early on in their World Cup warm-up.
But Dalrymple made the most of his chance and eventually got on top of the bowling on a sluggish Arnos Vale track.
Bermuda's fragile top order was soon exposed by James Anderson, as they slid to 28-5 during their run chase.
Barring a stand of 71 between Pietersen (43) and Ian Bell (46), there was little to shout about for England's top five.
They included skipper Michael Vaughan, out for 18 opening the batting at the picturesque Arnos Vale ground.
After Ed Joyce had been bowled by a gentle yorker in the third over, Vaughan hit some good shots in reaching 18.
Then, attempting a third boundary in as many balls, he picked out Glamorgan's David Hemp at square leg with an attempted pull that went wrong.
In all World Cup warm-ups, 13 players can contest a match with 11 of them batting and 11 in the field at any one time.
When Vaughan named his starting line-up, there was no place for Andrew Strauss.
He had played 74 successive ODIs for England, but endured some poor form in Australia.
Ravi Bopara was the other member of the 15-man squad to miss out, with all four seamers fit to stake their claims.
Some observers had been concerned that the pitch might be difficult to bat on, but in the event the ball came onto the bat well until the spinners slowed things down.
The early exchanges were a triumph for Kevin Hurdle, a 30-year-old who produced the balls that removed both England's openers.
But, with Bell and Pietersen soon finding their range in a stand of 71, there seemed little cause for alarm.
That all changed when Bell was well held at short mid-wicket off an attempted pull.
Leverock, bowling slow left-arm, had Collingwood caught behind cheaply - though umpire Rudi Koertzen looked to have erred in giving the batsman out.
There was no doubt about the wicket of Pietersen, though, who was stumped as he wandered down the wicket, sparking some big celebrations from Leverock.
It was turning into a big day for the rank outsiders at the World Cup, and they had more opportunity to celebrate when Andrew Flintoff (24) holed out at deep mid-wicket.
He and Dalrymple had at least added a vital 54 and Dalrymple went on to smack consecutive sixes off Delyone Borden.
The short boundaries allowed a late flurry of scoring to ensure a total that was expected to be well out of range.
And that was clearly the case, as the Bermudian batsmen floundered.
Dean Minors and Oliver Pitcher both drove catches to the in-field, before Pietersen dived from short mid-wicket to give Anderson his second wicket.
Jon Lewis took just one ball to find his range, trapping Kwame Tucker lbw, and after two overs he had two wickets without a run scored off him.
England's second and final warm-up is against Australia on Friday.
