Facing Latvia duo Madars Razma and Dmitry Zhukov, it was a comprehensive 8-4 victory for Michael Smith and Rob Cross.
It was a comfortable start for the duo with Smith pinning double 20 to make it 2-0 and break throw for England.
But Latvia found their way back into the tie with Razma reducing the deficit to only two legs at 4-2.
That lasted only one leg with Cross continuing to build the lead for England pinning a huge 102 checkout to make it 5-2 albeit with Latvia not on a finish.
Smith again hit with a double eight to break again this time at 7-3 and send them one away from the winning line.
He sealed it in style from there as despite being broken, Smith hit a 111 checkout to make it 8-4 and claim the victory.
