England beat an invitational Australian Capital Territory XI by 216 runs in Eoin Morgan's first game as full-time 50-over captain.
Moeen Ali, Ian Bell, James Taylor and Joe Root all made half-centuries in Canberra as England warmed up for their tri-series against Australia and India.
Ravi Bopara and Chris Woakes also combined late on to add 105 in 50 balls as England reached 364 for six.
The home side at the Manuka Oval were dismissed for 148 in the 33rd over.
Spinner James Tredwell took three for 11 to rip out the middle order, while there were two wickets each for Stuart Broad and Moeen.
"We got five fifties, some good striking at the end, which is what you want to see, and everyone got a few overs under their belt, so it was a pretty good run-out," Tredwell told BBC Sport.
England are next in action on Wednesday against a Prime Minister's XI, before Friday's tri-series opener against Australia in Sydney.
They begin their World Cup campaign against the same opponents on 14 February.
