Adam Lyth made 65 for England Lions in Bloemfontein
ADAM Lyth has strengthened his case to open the batting for England in their upcoming tour of the West Indies.
The Yorkshire left-hander, who retired out on 106 in the tour opener in Soweto, made 65 on the first day of the second unofficial test against South Africa A in Bloemfontein.
County colleagues Adil Rashid (68), Jonny Bairstow (47) and Liam Plunkett (24) also weighed in but Alex Lees fell for five as the tourists were dismissed for 260.
South Africa A were 29-1 in reply off 10.5 overs.
