IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Patel bowls a half-volley, right in the arc for Isaac Mohammed to whip it across square leg. A huge thud as the ball crashes onto the signboards. England U19 are scoring at a brisk pace to reach 29/0 after 5 overs.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Some real good pace there by Deepesh, but Dawkins manages to get on top of it. Edged the ball and it raced past the fielder at first slip for his third boundary of the innings. Four overs gone, England U19 25 without loss.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Patel loses his line just a little, and it allows Dawkins and Mohammed to sneak in three runs and milk a boundary in the over. England Under 19 21/0 after 3 overs.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Deepesh rapped the ball on Mohammed’s pad and immediately went up for an appeal. But it lacked meat and didn’t result in anything but a hopeful shout. Strays onto the pads and leaks FOUR byes. ENG 12/0 after 2 overs.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Slughtly loose from Patel and Dawkins slaps the ball through covers for his and England's first boundary of the match. England U19 6/0 after 1st over.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: The stumps are set, but the teams have yet to take the field. Laughter and chatter fill the air, likely from lighthearted moments shared during warm-ups. The delay could stem from the rain causing more damage to the outfield than anticipated, with wet patches taking longer to dry.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Now that's what we're talking about. The conditions are improved, and the covers are off. Rain has stayed away for the last 30 minutes or so. More importantly, the Indian team is out there, warming up, all set to kick-off play after a frustratingly long wai.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Almost all the covers are off, except the one that matters the most. The hover cover remains still, but it looks like that one is about to come off soon as well. Surely, we can't have a full 50-over per side match from here onward. Anything around 40 would be gold.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: But hang on! Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. The side covers have been taken off, but the hover cover remains pretty much intact. More so, the ground staff seems to have left as well. This could be a longer delay.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Not the best of updates, but an update nonetheless. The rain seems to have relented a little as a few members of the groundstaff could be seen walking around the pitch. The super sopper is out too, so that's very promising. But we're still some time away before the first ball is bowled.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: The wind has picked up at Northampton, but unfortunately, it's not enough to take those dark clouds away. The sheets covering the ground are feeling the effect of the wind, but sadly, that is all the movement that's happening out there.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: We have the first genuine visuals from the venue, and trust me, it's not looking good. The centre pitch and the nearby areas are heavily covered, with absolutely no movement. It's dull; it's gloomy in Northampton, and if the current pictures are anything to go by, we could be in for the long haul. 

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: The latest we're hearing from the venue is that the rain has really picked up, and it's pouring cats and dogs at the moment. The entire ground is covered. Though rain was forecast, there was hope it might hold off. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened, and it looks like a lengthy delay awaits.

 IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Not the kind of start that you, me or either of the two teams wanted. Rain has delayed the start of proceedings at Northampton and the start of play will have to wait

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Another 30 minutes and the flip of the coin will take place to decide which team gets to bat and bowl first. In the previous two matches, the team chasing emerged victorious; hence, it won’t be a bad idea for the winning captain to have a bowl.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: This India Under 19 team isn't only about Vaibhav Suryavanshi. A few more talented youngsters stand out. Two days ago, Vihaan Malhotra top-scored for India with 49, and although he missed out on a half-century, he was instrumental in taking India close to 300. India's No. 3, Malhotra, stood his ground, allowing the rest of the batters to find their groove around him. Rahul Kumar and Kanishk Chauhan too scored in the 40s – 47 and 45 respectively, but it wasn't enough to give India a winning total.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: After today, two more matches will wind up the ODIs; however, they will be played at a different venue as the action moves to Worcester for the final two games of the series. But that’s not all. A couple of Youth Tests will take place, starting July 12 and 20, which will see the youngsters switch to a more traditional format. Beckenham and Chelmsford will host these games – the same venue where the senior Indian team played their two warm-up matches ahead of the England Tests.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: This kid is special. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is not your everyday teenager. He is different, to the extent that people have started comparing him to Sachin Tendulkar, given the similarities in their journeys dating back to their early days. Suryavanshi began the tour of England with a blistering knock of 190, but it wasn't registered anywhere since it was an unofficial game. But irrespective of the nature and format of the game, 190 is 190. At just 14, Suryavanshi is already toppling records, and while an India call-up may take a few more years, he has what it takes to be the next big superstar of Indian cricket.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: The Flintoffs – father Andrew and son Rocky are both in their news for respective reasons. Rocky has shown some fine form with the bat, scoring 56 and 39 in the two matches played thus far, while Andrew just revealed yesterday that he turned down an insane amount of money to strike a contract with the WWE. Rocky is one of the most promising young batters going around in the country – he scored 108 against the Cricket Australia XI  in January, and the world knows the legend of Andrew and his famous 2005 Ashes. With both father and son making heads turn, these are exciting times for England and its cricket.
