Delray Rawlins

A 115-runs third wicket partnership between George Bartlett and Delray Rawlins helped England escape with a draw on the final day of the second Junior Test match against India today at the VCA Jamtha stadium.

Chasing a modest 227, India needed one run off the last ball with just one wicket in hand but pacer Ishan Porel faltered at the last moment and was caught by Max Holden off Liam White as the match ended in a draw.

Star India batter Cheteshwar Pujara cracked 22 runs in an over en route to his scintillating 107 off 79 balls for his county side Sussex in the Royal London One Day Cup in Birmingham.

Chasing 256, Himanshu Rana's 87-ball 101 went in vain as India U-19 succumbed to a 23-run defeat against England in the opening game of five-match Youth One-day International (ODI) series at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.

India-U-19 look to build on gains from game 2.

Spinner Anukul Roy led India U-19 bowlers' splendid show as they drubbed England U-19 by 129 runs in the second one-dayer to level the five-match series 1-1, on Wednesday.

Prithvi Shaw and Shubham Gill slammed centuries as India U-19 crushed their counterparts from England by 230 runs in the fourth one-dayer to take a 3-1 lead in the five-match series on Monday.

Be it hitting three boundaries in the very first over of the chase, capitalising on loose deliveries, or getting into a tussle with an opponent, Gill did it all in the match.

Riding on an unbeaten century by opener Shubman Gill, India Under-19 hammered England U-19 by seven wickets in the third one-dayer and took a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
