London: Prithvi Shaw and Himanshu Rana were involved in a 110-run first-wicket partnership as India under-19 defeated England under-19 by eight wickets and with 100 balls to spare in the second ODI of the Royal London one-day series at the St. Lawrence ground here.
After Shaw was caught off Will Jacks by Tom Banton at midwicket, Shubman Gill joined Rana to add 61 runs for the second-wicket. With only five runs to get, Rana top-edged a pull off Ben Allison to Jack Blatherwick at deep square leg.
Opting to bat, England slumped from 84 for one to 123 for seven, courtesy the Indian spinners. Left-arm spinner Anukul Roy picked up four for 27, his second successive four-wicket haul, while leg-spinner Rahul Chahar picked up three, and left-arm spinner Abhishek Sharma two.
There were four changes to the England team that lost the first ODI — Yorkshire’s Harry Brook and Warwickshire seamer Henry Brookes were in, while Essex seamer Ben Allison and Derbyshire off-spinner Hamidullah Qadri made their debut.
The scores:
England u-19 : 175 in 44.4 overs (Liam Trevaskis 35, Tom Lammonby 30 n.o., Rahul Chahar three for 26, Anukul Roy four for 27) lost to India u-19: 177 for two in 33.2 overs (Prithvi Shaw 48, Himanshu Rana 74, Shubman Gill 38 n.o.).
