England have thrashed Uganda in the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh to almost guarantee their place in the Super League. England notched up 259-7 in their 50 overs and then skittled Uganda out for 46 to win by 213 runs.
Yorkshire-born pace pair Tim Bresnan and David Stiff both took four wickets for seven runs.
Pakistan comfortably beat Ireland by eight wickets and Scotland lost to Bangladesh by nine wickets.
It was England's second win in the group stage, with Luke Wright (70) and Samit Patel (55) both hitting half-centuries.
Davis Arinaitwe was the pick of the Uganda bowlers, taking 3-53 from nine overs. Uganda's reply never got going as Bresnan and Stiff made rapid in-roads
The highest runs scorer in the sorry Ugandan innings was the 13 extras.
Meanwhile Pakistan have also notched up two wins out of two.
Ireland were outplayed by a ruthless Pakistan in front of 4,000 enthusiastic fans, which included ICC President Ehsan Mani.
Put into bat, Ireland were all out for 142 in the 48th over. Spinner Mansoor Amjed claimed 4-28 with his leg breaks and there were two wickets apiece for Salman Qadir and Tariq Mehmood.
Pakistan raced to their total in 25.2 overs, with openers captain Khalid Latif (50) and Adnan Zaheer (64 not out) steering them to victory.
Scotland slumped to their second defeat of the tournament, this time at the hands of Bangladesh.
Scotland were bowled out for 95 in 30.2 overs with only Kyle Coetzer (42) getting into double figures. Enamul Haque junior was the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers with 4-21 in 8.2 overs.
Bangladesh's batsmen picked up where India left off against Scotland a day earlier and had the match wrapped up before lunch.
After being hit for 425 in 50 overs by India the previous day, Scotland's bowlers could only keep this match alive for 12.2 overs.
Nafees Iqbal and Naeem Islam did the damage racing to 39 and 49 not out respectively at more than a run-a-ball.
