IND vs ENG, U19 World Cup Final LIVE score: India win 6th World Cup

Hrishikesh Kanitkar - Great feeling, I've been here before, but it's special for the boys. After the fight the England team put up, it was a good win for us. It is one of the major goals, that's what we do at the CoE in the BCCI Academy. Trophies are good, but it's the development which is very important. Just have dinner and go to sleep

OUT. Falconer is out for 115 and don't ask what and how. India have won by 100 runs here as Kanishk Chouhan picks up the last wicket.

Falconer has a 100 here for England. His team is not winning for sure but he has shown the way, that he is a future star. He brings up 100 in only 63 balls.

Lumsden is out and England are 9 down. Ambrish has a 9th wicket. Just one wicket away here from a historic WC win.

And after a long while India have a wicket. Minto is out for 28 as Ambrish has his second wicket. An excellent over comes to an end.

Falconer is unstoppable here at the moment. He is getting from every part of the ground. India is not finding answers to his attack. Falconer has gotten into his 70s.

The delay has been prolonged for India. By now they should have won but then, they should be looking to win soo. Equation wise England need 160 in 109 balls.

Falconer has struck a brilliant 50 here in just 26 deliveries. Is there a twist in the tale? Can he sping a surpise.

So despite England being virtually out of the chase, they are still going at a rapid pace. Such is the pitch here. But that should hardly be a concern for India.

It is just a matter of time now. Just three wickets needed for win here  and India would want to complete it rather soon.

What is happening here.. Deepesh has a wicket now, and England batting ius crumbling. Farhan Ahmed has edged one to Kundu. India can smell victory. Wait, Deepesh has another wicket. 7 down now.

Ayush Mhatre has a knack of picking up wickets. And he does just that. Comes in, and in the very first over removes Ben Dawkins for 66. Another wicket. A run out happens now, as Albert goes for a duck.

Dawkins brings up his 50 in only 49 delieries. He should be happy with the way he has batted. As for the target, it remains out of bounds.

Where does the next wicket come from? Even the spinners are being hit for boundaries. Required rate is touchung 9 but still, India need to find a way. And as we say it, Rew has been caught at mid off. He is out for 31.

Kanishk comes into the attack and he can really curtail the runs and pick up wickets too. But two boundaries come here too.

Can England sniff an improbable win? Maybe, maybe not. But for now they are dealing in boundaries. Perhaps they don't want to take any pressure of winning the cup.

India has missed a few chance here and the lastest is, Khilan Patel doesn't get a stumped wicket. Kundu is the one who missed. And in the meantime, Mayes has become the highest run-getter in the tournment again. OUT!!!

Mayes tries to reverse sweep and is caught in the deep.

England batters have picked up pace here and are forging a good partnership. Chase if out of question though.

It looks like, England are just not thinking about the chase. They have Rew up next, but 412 is a bit too much, that too in a final.

Ambrish draws first blood here. The ball was tailing away from the batter, but an inside edge meant, it chopped into the stumps. Moores out for 17.

One can sense the pressure the England batters might be under. After two maidens, they get two runs on the board.

RS Ambrish starts the proceedings for India. It is in improbable total, but then England will have to give themseleves a chance. It is a maiden to start with. Henil Patel starts with a maiden as well.

A little cameo in the end by Kanishk Chouhan takes India to 411/9 in their 50 overs. And majority of the work was done by Vaibhav Suryavansi who scored 175. India a step closer to World Cup.

India is getting close to 400 here.. BUt the wickets are falling here too. So, it is a hit and miss at the moment.

Kundu and Ambrish have departed in quick succession. And it looks like, India might not be able to make 400 here.

Kundu slams 19 in the 44th over and this is huge boost for India's 400 dream. Now is the time to go big.

Finally some boundaries have started to come for India after a period of lull. Kundu into the act. Some more needed for sure.

Kundu and Ambrish have displayed that they can score in pressure situations. Now today they are not under pressure, but still need to score big.

India has lost their fifth wicket here. Vedant has been caught out for 32 and India need a partnership going.

India has a bit of rebuilding to do here. They would be unhappy if they can't reach 430 at least. And mind you, runs will come from England too. So they can't put their foot off the pedal.

Vihaan has been dismissed for 30. He tries to go over the top of mid off, but mistimes one. India still in a good position.

Yes, The RR has visibly reduced after the departure of Suyavanshi but India are looking set for 420-430 at least.

Vihaan and Vedant are slowly getting into their groove. Boundaries are coming for them too. They would not be worried about the score now, since India can only win it from this stage.

India is losing a bit of way here. Vihaan is caught out by the bowler; Farhan Ahmed has a wicket. India need to stay calm here and forge a partnership. Oh wait. It is not out. It seems the ball was touching the ground when the bowler was getting up.

400 looks easy for now, but with 22 overs still left, can India look at 500 too? That might just be out of equation, with Suryavanshi out.

Finally Vaibhav Suryavanshi is out for 175 from 80. He is caught behind, as he tries to scoop a pacer. A sensational innings here.

What do you say about this player. He is just continuing it over after over. England is out of the game already. It is not about the title anymore. It is only about how many runs Suryavanshi gets.

In just 71 balls, Suryavanshi has smashed a 150. He plays three dots and then gets a six and four to get to another milestone.

This kid is not stopping at all. Every ball is flying for a six or a four. YOu can only feel sorry for the English bowlers now.

A single and Suryvanshi gets to his 100. What a player this kid has been for India. He has set a big platform in the final for INdia.

Against the run of play, England have a second wicket. Green bangs the ball short, and Ayush Mhatre pulls one straight into the hands of the square leg fielder.

Ayush Mhatre gets to his 50 too, but look at Suryavanshi

Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed 2⃣2⃣ runs in an over, with Ayush Mhatre enjoying the show from the other end.

Suryavanshi gets into the 90s now as he gets 22 runs from Farhan Ahmed over. Eyeing a century here.

Suryavanshi has raced to 71 off 41 in no time. After his 32-ball fifty, the southpaw has just continued with his charge. The England bowlers look utterly helpless against the Suryavanshi-Mhatre duo here. This time spinner Farhan Ahmed feels the heat as Suryavanshi hammers two back-to-back sixes. With this, Suryavanshi has clubbed the most sixes in the history of the Under-19 World Cup! Mind you, the lad can play more editions in the future! 

32-ball 50 for Vaibhav Suryavanshi! 🚨

4th fifty of the tournament for Vaibhav Suryavanshi! Just in 32 balls. You don't often see this kind of an innings in a final. No nerves whatsoever for the RR opener. Batting at a SR of 156.25, Suryavanshi has clubbed 6 fours and 3 sixes. He was at 10 off 13 when George got out. Superb accelaration. Meanwhile, Ayush Mhatre is continuing from where he left of in the last game too, scoring 31 off 25. 

INDU19: 98/1 (12 ov); Suryavanshi 55*, Mhatre 32*

It is the battle that everyone was waiting for. Vaibhav Suryavanshi faces the highest wicket-taker of the tournament, Manny Lumsden. 
Suryavanshi is batting on 24 with the help of 3 fours and a six. Can Lumsden, who has a Jamaican connection, derail the Indian innings?

Meanwhile, Ayush Mhatre has hit the pacer for two consecutive fours followed by a handsome six! A loose start here by England. 

IND: 79/1 (Suryavanshi 42*, Mhatre 26*)

First wicket 🚨

India lose Aaron Goerge early. A soft dismissal as the right-hander tried to push it towards the off side but Mayers takes a low catch at backward point. Goerge played it away from the body. 

It is time for the action! 🚨

Centurion in the last game, Aaron George is taking the strike as Morgan has the ball in hand. Superb start for Morgan, extracting swing and carry towards the keeper. 

It is time for the national anthems. India first followed by England.

India have expectedly kept the same winning XI, while England have made just one change. 

India U19 Playing XI: Aaron George, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ayush Mhatre (c), Vihaan Malhotra, Vedant Trivedi, Abhigyan Kundu (wk), RS Ambrish, Kanishk Chouhan, Khilan Patel, Henil Patel, Deepesh Devendran

England U19 Playing XI: Ben Dawkins, Joseph Moores, Ben Mayes, Thomas Rew (w/c), Caleb Falconer, Ralphie Albert, Farhan Ahmed, Sebastian Morgan, James Minto, Manny Lumsden, Alex Green
