England finished their four match leg of the FIH Pro League in Dublin with a 3-2 defeat by Belgium.
England, who had claimed a shootout win against the same opponents earlier in the week, took the lead when a deflected Henry Croft strike fell to Nick Park and he drove in his effort.
Belgium then equalised through Alexander Hendrickx's powered drive from a penalty corner.
Tom Boon put Belgium 2-1 up as he also scored from a penalty corner before Will Calnan levelled when he tapped in from close range.
Boon restored Belgium's lead with a composed chip and they held on to secure the win.
England's other games included a win and defeat by Germany, and they have five points after their first four games.
