We thought knowing what to chase would help our tempo. Caleb, unbelievable knock, and Dawks too to try and chase that.
We were really excited about going out there and playing our shots. Didn't get over the line, but great effort from all of us. We're really thankful for our families, my parents, to have that support here and back home is special."

IND vs ENG LIVE Score: “Wherever I get the chance, I will try to keep doing good things. How much I can contribute would be great. End of the first innings sir said to be calm, be yourself. In our mind we didn't have that we scored 400, just that we play good cricket and will. At the start, their plans were clear that they will hit out. We wanted to defend, so that's how we bowled.”

Feb 06, 2026 08:11 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Ambrish strikes once again and India are one away!
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Ambrish continues to have an impact! It's the shorter one which works again against the tailender, who swings hard but never gets enough.
Easy to get around to, and India just one piece of cricket away from wrapping it up!
Feb 06, 2026 08:00 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: The stand is broken! Minto dismissed, India 2 away

Feb 06, 2026 07:47 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: 255/7 after 33
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Ticking along now. Holding pattern stuff. Falconer slowly working over but Minto's rate down the other end will need to step up if they want this chase to remain alive.

Feb 06, 2026 07:23 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Falconer continues to battle – 4, 4, 4
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Good to see some battle – there is so much ground to cover but that doesn't mean Falconer won't try to cover it. Deepesh Devendran riled him up a couple of overs ago, and he has responded by taking him on. 4, 4, 4, all along the floor. Excellent batting, he is onto 39* off 19.
Feb 06, 2026 07:09 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Two in an over again, and this time it's Deepesh!
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: It's all going very very wrong! Deepesh first gets an edge behind for Kundu to collect for six down, and then two balls later has Seb Morgan driving it uppishly right back to him – sharp reactions to hold on, and this match has stopped being a contest!
Feb 06, 2026 07:05 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Two wickets in an over! Ayush Mhatre with the golden arm
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: He has a special knack of taking wickets, and captain Ayush Mhatre brings himself on and removes half-centurion Dawkins! Similar to Rew, driven well and hard, but straight to cover.
Two balls later, a lot of yes-no-yes between the two new batters Albert and Falconer – a great piece of fielding from Khilan enforces a run-out, and the pressure beginning to tell! Albert gone on a duck.
176/5 now. Looking like curtains.
Feb 06, 2026 06:57 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Dawkins reaches fifty, ENG continue to attack
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: No slowing down for England despite the wickets, which is heartening to see. Continue to go after the bowling, they won't die wondering. After Falconer gets going with a tall maximum, Dawkins also deposits a six into the off-side to reach his half-century.
Feb 06, 2026 06:54 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: GONE!!! Rew picks out cover and it's advantage India
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Can you believe it! Rew was looking sensational, he was hitting some absolutely incredible shots. He has hit this drive so well after dancing down the pitch, and it's absolutely humming – but unfortunately for Rew, straight to the man inside the ring! Two feet either side and that's four – but India don't care, they continue to chip away and dismiss England's main men!
142/3 after 18.
Feb 06, 2026 06:44 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: 124/2 after 16, Rew continues attack
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Skipper Thomas Rew has come in with the intention of continuing England's attack, and has done just that with some very positive cricket. Tough balance to find for the batters at the minute with so many runs yet to get.
Feb 06, 2026 06:34 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: SECOND WICKET DOWN! In-form Mayes falls trying a reverse sweep
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Got him! Last laugh for Khilan Patel. Gets hit hard down the ground for six, but the next ball, tossed up a little more, and a big top edge flies to the fielder at the fence, and the fielders are ecstatic!
Mayes was the key man here – he takes his top run-scorer mantle back with 45, but India keep chopping.
Feb 06, 2026 06:22 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: 14 off the first over of spin
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Ben Mayes is some player. A little bit of Harry Brook about him, and he is striking it as sweet as you like. A six and two fours off that over – India will quietly be growing a little concerned. He's finding the boundary at will.
Feb 06, 2026 06:18 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: 64/1 at end of powerplay
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Solid powerplay for England but it's the acceleration that will give them the boost, after a watchful start.
India will be a little disappointed at leaking a few runs, but they won't mind this in the big picture.
Feb 06, 2026 06:14 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: England beginning to attack, Mayes goes after Ambrish
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Similar to what happened in the first innings – towards the end of the powerplay, it becomes paradise to bat on. Easy for Mayes to swing through the line and grab a couple of fours.
51/1 after 9. Needs to keep going.
Feb 06, 2026 06:09 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Dawkins begins to attack – four cracking boundaries in an over
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Dawkins had been taking his time after coming in, but a series of cracking shots off his bat to get going now. Against Henil, four fours in the over against India's lead new ball seamer. Ball making a cracking sound off his bat.
Suddenly 41/1 after 8 overs.
Feb 06, 2026 05:55 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Timber!!! Ambrish gets Moores to chop on, 19/1
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: There's the big early wicket! Ambrish slants it across Moores the lefty, who tries to drive it square but can only manage a thick inside edge which rockets into his own stumps!
Just the start that India needed.
Feb 06, 2026 05:50 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Finally England get going
Three boundaries in that over and also a chance created. Moores is starting to find rhythm and showing that he could be dangerous for India, if he stays too long in the crease. Ayush Mhatre would be looking to pick up the wicket of Moores as soon as possible.
Feb 06, 2026 05:45 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: India keep the lid on England's start
The Indian bowlers are creating pressure on the English batters with their near-perfect line and length. In a chase of 412, England are yet to get off to a start with three overs done.
Feb 06, 2026 05:42 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Patel keeps up the good work
Henil Patel maintains the pressure built by Ambrish in the first over. He also hit the perfect areas and kept the pressure on. England are yet to get off the mark in this mountain of a chase, with two overs already bowled.
Feb 06, 2026 05:37 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: India start with a maiden
Ambrish bowls a brilliant first over. He hit the right areas and there was no scope for the England batters to get off the blocks. A maiden to start.
Feb 06, 2026 05:30 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: England begin their chase
The players are making their way back into the ground. England need to bat out of their skins to win the match and secure the title. On the other hand, India will have the freedom to attack early and change the game's tide in their favour early.
Feb 06, 2026 05:25 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: India post the highest ever total in U19 World Cup
India have posted the highest ever total in a U19 World Cup final. This is also the highest team total of this World Cup. They surpassed England's 404 on the way.
Feb 06, 2026 05:19 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the record books
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has now the highest score by an Indian in U19 World Cup. He has also tumbled many a record during his epic knock. He became the youngest centurion in the history of the tournament and also the fastest to score a hundred.
Feb 06, 2026 05:05 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Big six, and India finish on 411/9!
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Sensational last over from Kanishk Chouhan just to swing that meter a little bit more towards India after England had fought back! Denies Deepesh a single, and makes it count with a monster pull shot for six – takes India to 411/9, finishes on 37* off 20.
All about Sooryavanshi, this innings, but excellent late performance from Kanishk for the final touches.
Feb 06, 2026 05:02 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: 4, 2, 4, Kanishk pushes India past 400!
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: The death hitting India needed from Kanishk! Punces on Minto as he just misses his length on attempted yorkers.
Two balls to play on 403 – can he get the team to 410 with a big hit or two?
Feb 06, 2026 05:00 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: IND head to last over on 393/9
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Good fielding on the last ball of that over to run out Henil! Goes miles in the air so India try to come back for a second, but it's an accurate flat throw and good wicketkeeping to beat Henil by an inch or two.
Last over coming up.
Feb 06, 2026 04:53 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: 385/8, 2 overs to play
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: England doing well to ensure this isn't something completely unchaseable.
Here is an issue for them though – two overs to play, but timer has run out for the innings, which means only four fielders on the fence for the last 12 balls. Can Kanishk take advantage?
Feb 06, 2026 04:46 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Another one bites the dust – Khilan holes out
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: India limping towards the end now. Khilan tries to hammer it but off the end of the bat and goes straight up. The fielder can settle underneath it and collect it on the second attempt.
Feb 06, 2026 04:38 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Minto strikes again! Removes Ambrish
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: England keep biting back in this phase, getting wickets when they need them most! Minto's third of the day, hits off stump. Ambrish tries to guide it down to third but misses it altogether.
Khilan Patel in next. Had a strong cameo earlier this tournament.
Feb 06, 2026 04:36 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: 367/6 with 5 overs to play
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Ambrish plays a lovely drive over the off-side to pick up four.
India gunning for a very big finish – they must be looking at 420 from here, can they get there?
Feb 06, 2026 04:33 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Kundu departs after 40, but provides impetus; 359/6
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Kundu's flurry of boundaries comes to an end. He had started slowly but got going – this is a big wicket for England to potentially keep India short of 400.
Kanishk Chouhan next in. Capable of launching them himself.
Feb 06, 2026 04:28 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Kundu begins to attack with pomp! 4, 6, 4, 4
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Excellent from Kundu to step it up! Begins to use the width of his crease to manufacture some excellent cricket shots. Gets inside the line to pummel one through leg before doing the same and helping it along for six over fine leg. Two balls later, makes room and pumps it through the off-side. Excellent batting.
Feb 06, 2026 04:24 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Not the most fluent going – 336/5 after 43
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: England doing very well to keep the clamps on and not leak runs at this stage. 400 slowly looking quite far away with India going at less than 6rpo in the last few overs.
Feb 06, 2026 04:15 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: 319/5 after 40 overs
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: 10 overs to play. Certainly been a slow-down – 36/2 in the last 10 overs, after 116 runs in the 10 overs prior. India need to have a target in mind here now and gun for that.
Feb 06, 2026 04:02 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Trivedi departs too! Minto removes both set batters, 308/5
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Small hiccup for India here as both their set middle order batters depart in quick succession! Minto strikes again, and it's another leading edge, this time deep into the leg-side.
Over to the lower order to make the most of these last 14 overs. Power in Kundu, Ambrish, and Kaushik to come.
Feb 06, 2026 03:53 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Malhotra falls! Cramped up, easy catch
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: England strike to break the partnership! This pair had worked well but Malhotra with an awkward swing trying to force the issue. Thick leading edge as he does that, and settles into the mid-off fielder's hands.
302/4 now, 16 overs to play.
Feb 06, 2026 03:45 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Malhotra begins to attack – pulls out the switch hit; 297/3 (33)
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: Some more aggressive cricket already. Field up on the off-side against the off-spinner, and the southpaw is ready to sharply switch around and clear those fielders along the ring. Good cricket.
297/3 after 33 overs.
Feb 06, 2026 03:35 pm IST
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: 283/3 after 30 overs
IND vs ENG U19 Final LIVE Score: At the 30 over mark, India still cruising, this partnership slowly finding its feet. They will be happy to take things easy for another 5 overs or so, but the batting depth means they have the license to go after the bowling soon enough.
