Haseeb Hameed, the Lancashire batsman, responded to a century from Australia Under-19's Caleb Jewell with an unbeaten half-century of his own to guide England to a comfortable draw in the Youth Test at Chester-le-Street.
The two teams shook hands mid-way through the evening session after Jewell's innings had left the hosts needing 308 in 47 overs, a prospect that was never seriously considered.
Max Holden fell early to David Grant for 2 but thereafter England were not seriously troubled, with Tom Alsop following his first-innings 66 with 39 from 49 balls in a second-wicket stand of 63.
Hameed, who struck 11 fours in his 92-run innings, enjoyed productive stands with Dan Lawrence and Callum Taylor, both of whom avoided pairs to make 27 and 34 not out respectively.
Earlier, Australia built steadily on their overnight 91 for 3, adding a further 161 runs in 47.1 overs with Jewell resuming on 38 not out. He added 132 for the fourth wicket with his captain, Jake Doran, who made 76, with Matthew Parkinson and Ben Green sharing three wickets each. Parkinson, the legspinner, finished an impressive match with overall figures of 9 for 222.
The five-match one-day series gets underway at Gosforth on Tuesday.
