Mumbai: England Lions warmed up nicely for their stint in the Duleep Trophy tournament by defeating Mumbai XI by 30 runs on an engrossing last day of their three-day tie at the Brabourne Stadium here today.

Earlier, India under-19 bowler Dhaval Kulkarni grabbed 5 for 33 as England were shot out for 114 in their second innings after having taken a first innings lead of 146 runs.
