Under 13 county champions Henry Box slipped to a 101-run defeat at Warwick School in the David English Cup - the national round of the schools' competition.

Henry Box had qualified for this stage after beating Magdalen College last season, but came up against a very powerful Warwick outfit.

Winning the toss and batting first, Warwick posted a competitive total of 179-6 from their 30 overs.

Liam Hare led the way for Henry Box's bowlers, taking two wickets, with Josh Garrett, Andy Hunt, Matthew Keen and Jack Martin taking the others.

In reply, Henry Box struggled to maintain the run rate against a tight bowling attack.

Garrett top-scored with 32, but his side fell to 78 all out.
