England earned their first win at the 2017 Rugby League World Cup by running in five tries against Lebanon.
Having lost their opener to Australia, England led 22-6 at half-time through tries from Kallum Watkins, Jermaine McGillvary, Ryan Hall and Ben Currie.
Thomas Burgess ran in a solo try after the break, but England found it hard to open up spirited Lebanon further.
Lebanon, backed by plenty of expatriates in Sydney, narrowed the gap through Jason Wehbe's late try.
Gareth Widdop struck a drop goal with the last kick of the game to finish off a relatively comfortable win for England.
Assuming Australia defeat Lebanon to finish top, England will confirm their quarter-final place as Group A runners-up by beating France in the final pool game on Sunday, 12 November.
Wayne Bennett's side will play the Group C winners - either Papua New Guinea or Ireland - in the last eight.
