Essex youngster Callum Taylor hit 63 from 55 balls with 10 fours and two sixes.and 17-year-old Northamptonshire all-rounder Saif Zaib reached a 112-ball century when he launched his fourth six with power that belied the left-hander’s slight build.

Elsewhere at Loughborough, Davies scored 12 off 17 balls batting at six for England Under-19s against a Unicorns side including ex-England seamer Graham Onions.
