India vs England Highlights, U19 World Cup 2022: India win historic fifth title, beat ENG by four wickets

Bawa continues... he hits Rehan Ahmed on the lid and umpires call for the physio. A well-deserved drinks break for India. Catch your breath fans!

England 52/5 after 15 overs

He first removed a set Thomas and piled more misery on England by removing Luxton and Bell. He's on a hat-trick!!!

What's happening in Antigua!!! Cross-seam delivery and Bell (0) nicks it to wicketkeeper Dinesh Bana. Bawa gets his third as England find themselves in a precarious position.

England 47/5 after 13 overs

Bawa strikes again! Raj Bawa... remember the name! He idolises Yuvraj Singh and seems like he's on course to deliver a match-winning performance. Luxton edges it to Dinesh Bana behind the stumps as England go four down inside the first 13 overs.

England 47/4 after 12.5 overs

Ravi Kumar picked up two early wickets including the prized scalp of opposition skipper Tom Prest. Ravi first trapped opener Jacob Bethell (2) and then castled Preston for a duck. Raj Bawa also entered the wicket-takers column by removing a well-set George Thomas for 27.  The England dressing room is under pressure at the moment.

England 44/3 after 12 overs

The pressure was building and it's led to Raj Bawa adding a wicket under his belt. George Thomas departs for 27 after ballooning it straight to Dhull. England look in deep trouble now. Three wickets already in the first 11 overs. William Luxton is the next man in.

England 38/3 after 10.1 overs

Sindhu concedes just one from the over. India have kept it nice and quiet so far, restricting the England batters from scoring boundaries. Only 16 runs have come in the last five overs. Ten overs gone!

England 37/2 after 10 overs

Raj Bawa bowls a maiden as we get closer to the end of first Powerplay.

England 36/2 after 9 overs

Nishant Sindhu comes into the attack with his left-arm spin and Rew welcomes him with a boundary towards covers. Too much room and the England batter isn't going to miss those chances.

England 36/2 after 8 overs

Oh dear! Thomas nicked it straight to Tambe in slips. He's put it down as Thomas gets a reprive. This could prove costly. 

England 31-2 after 7 overs

Raj Bawa is into the attack after Ravi's double-strike. Thomas knows that he has to be there if England want to win this contest. He's got two fifties so far, scoring over 200 runs in six games of the tournament. 

With two wickets already in his bag, Ravi would look to add a few more. But removing Thomas looks difficult. He's been impressive so far, batting on 26. Thomas doesn't seem to be troubled by early setbacks and he shuffles down the pitch to pick up a boundary.

England 30/2 after 6 overs

Hangargekar continues with his raw pace from the other end and gives away just three runs. Thomas' presence at the crease is still a positive for England. He needs to stick there for a bit more time. 

England 21-2 after 5 overs

BOWLED! Ravi Kumar strikes again! He removes England skipper Tom Prest for a duck. What a start from the Indian pacer. Bit of repair job to be done now for England. James Rew joins Thomas in the middle. 

England 18/2 after 3.3 overs

Thomas looks unfazed by his partner's departure. He whacks Hangargekar for an effortless six to mid-wicket! 14 runs from the over with Thomas hitting two fours and a maximum.

England 14/1 after 3 overs

OUT! Ravi Kumar strikes! The Bengal pacer traps Bethell for 2 as India scalp an early wicket. The umpire didn't take time to raise his finger. Bethell shuffled but it hit him in front of the middle and off.

England 4/1 after 2 overs

Ravi Kumar into the attack and he almost gets Bethell! There was a noise but it was bat and pad. Good decision by the umpire! Also, excellent start by the Indian pacer who has got six wickets in six games so far. 

Thomas had hit a fifty against Afghanistan. He gets off the mark by driving it towards the mid-on region. Doesn't reach the boundary rope... but England are off the mark.

England 2/0 after 1 over

The title clash is underway! Thomas and Bethell start for England. Hangargekar opens the bowling for India. Let's start…

THE LAST HUDDLE! Indian players discuss their plans as England batters make way to the middle. 

We are all set for the title clash! It's been 24 years since England won the trophy. While England look to end the drought, India eye record-extending fifth title. Players are in the middle for the national anthems. Expect a cracker of a game!!!

Ravi Kumar didn't pick up many wickets in the league stage but delivered an impressive performance against Bangladesh. Ravi has got five wickets in two games and he will be eyeing a few more wickets today. We are minutes away from the final to get underway.
