India U19s complete whitewash
England U19s v India U19s, Taunton: England 303-7 dec. (50 overs) lost to India 306-9 (48.1 overs) by one wicket - India win three-game series 3-0

India's U19s produced an exhilarating run chase for the second day running at Taunton to beat England by one wicket, ensuring a 3-0 series whitewash.
Kadeer Ali
Ali's fine knock proved not enough

After winning with a six off the last ball on Thursday, the tourists scrambled home with six balls to spare after a day of brutal shotmaking from both sides.

And in Ambati Rayudu, who steered his side to victory with a magnificent unbeaten 177, India look to have unearthed a genuine star of the future.

The 16-year-old, who has made one first-class appearance for Hyderabad, surpassed the 80 he scored yesterday to hand India a win that had looked unlikely after England posted 303 for seven.

That score included a flamboyant 125 from Worcestershire's Kadeer Ali, who shared in a first-wicket stand worth 201 with Yorkshire opener Andrew Gale.

But Ali's innings was overshadowed by that of Rayudu, who hit 16 fours and one six as the Indian youngsters put England to the sword.


England Under 19: A W Gale, P Mustard (Wkt), Kadeer Ali, J G E Benning, B M Shafayat, M L Pettini, S Patel, N Thornicroft, T T Bresnan, L E Plunkett, P J McMahon (Capt).

India Under 19: M S Bisla, A T Rayudu, D A Chougule (Wkt), Y Gnaneswara Rao (Capt), S Raina, T K Patel, K Rawat, U B Patel, I K Pathan, A Sharma, C E Atram.

Umpires: T E Jesty and R Palmer
