While Jason Roy and Joe Root were removed early - both by paceman Trent Boult - the remaining English batsmen did the job easily . Mitchell Santner made his maiden half century with an unbeaten 63 off 52 balls and in-form opener Martin Guptill scored 50.
With the election seen by many, including Sisi, as a referendum on his presidency, the focus is on turnout which he has sought to support tough economic reforms and a fight against Islamist militants. Twenty-three million voted for Sisi.
A couple of possible strong competitors in the presidential race have either withdrawn or been disqualified over violations.
In the Nile Delta governorate of Gharbiya, El-Sisi obtained 90 percent of the vote, with a turnout of more than 50 percent, Egypt's state news agency MENA said.
In an interview days ahead of the vote, Sisi said he had wished there were more candidates, denying any role in sidelining them.
