Jan-Marco Montag and Oliver Korn gave Germany a 2-0 lead before Richard Smith converted a penalty corner for England to reduce the margin.

However, Germany's Martin Haner slotted home to make it 3-1 before the half-time.

Two-time champions Germany added one more through Linus Butt in the second session to put it well beyond England.
