The wicket, which came in the sixth over, was the first maiden of the tournament and England's total at the end of it was 25-3, Luke Wright having already departed.
He finally missed a jumper with 3:21 left in the first period and departed with 23 points, and the Nets led 38-14 after their highest-scoring first period of the season.
When Mr. Schettino departed earlier Friday from the port of Civitavecchia, near Rome carrying 3, 216 passengers and just over 1, 000 crew members he was a captain in good standing.
