This is a historic win for India as they have lifted their sixth U19 World Cup title. Kanishk landed the final blow with Falconer's wicket as India won the final by 100 runs. England were bowled out for 311 in 40.2 overs. 

Wicket! Finally, the partnership has been broken, and it's Ambrish who takes India closer to the title win. Minto couldn't control his shot, and Enaan took an easy catch. England lose their eighth wicket. 

England U19 LIVE Cricket Score: 271/8 (36)

This has been an outstanding partnership for England as these two have kept England's run chase alive so far. Falconer is leading the attack and has already completed his fifty as the score goes past the 250-run mark. 2 runs came off that over. 

England U19 LIVE Cricket Score: 255/7 (33)

Incredible stuff from Falconer as he is on fire at the moment. The star batter smashed boundaries off Deepesh as 17 runs came off that over.

England U19 LIVE Cricket Score: 215/7 (26)

Wicket! There's a mini collapse, and Ayush Mhatre has taken a couple of wickets out of nowhere. Albert departs for 0 as England go five down.

England U19 Cricket Score: 174/5 (21)

OUT!! Ben Mayes was taking the Indian bowlers on with some serious hitting. Khilan Patel strikes with the ball. England two down in the chase. ENG 93/2 (13)

After an inconsistent start, England batters Ben Dawkins and Ben Mayes have taken the Indian bowling to task. India need a breakthrough here.

Big wicket in the context of the game! England's Joseph Moores falls early in the chase. RS Ambrish strikes for India. ENG 19/0 (5)

In a chase of 412, England openers have already played out two maidens. Indian pacers are right on the money. 

Late blitz from Kanishk Chouhan powered India to 411 for 9 after 50 overs. Monumental effort from the young Indian guns. 

With just 4 overs left, India have a good chance to reach 400 with Kanishk Chouhan and Khilan Patel in the middle. Both have the ability to strike the long ball. It will be interesting to see if they reach the magical number or not.

Abhigyan Kundu and RS Ambrish can pave the way for India to score somewhere around 400. England bowlers need to pull back from here to give themselves a chance in the chase.

Wicket! Vihaan looked to hit a big shot towards the leg side, but there was no control at all. The ball went in the air on the off side, and Dawkins made no mistake with the catch. India are four down now. 

That was hit straight to the bowler by Vihaan, and Farhan did well to complete the catch. But, umpires are having a discussion, and this has been set upstairs. The bowler seems to have touched the ball on the ground while he was not in complete control. The decision displays as not out, and Vihaan survives.

India U19 LIVE Cricket Score: 275/3 (29)

Sooryavanshi finally bows out after a spectacular knock of 175 off 80 balls. The 14-year-old can be proud of this monstrous effort. England's Manny Lumsden takes the wicket as India lose their third wicket. IND 254/3 (26.1)

Sooryavanshi is currently chasing history in the World Cup final. He has reached 175 off just 79 balls as England bowlers are clueless at the moment. 

6, 6, 4, 6 - absolutely brutal from Suryavanshi! Twenty two runs off that over. He has raced to 96 in the blink of an eye. Vaibhav is on the cusp of registering the fastest century for India at U19 World Cups. The record is currently held by Raj Angad Bawa (69 balls).

6, 4, 4, 4! Suryavanshi goes berserk as well. Eighteen runs off that over. India have punished England for anything short or full. Vaibhav and Mhatre keep the scoreboard ticking. England need wickets!
IND: 71/1 (9)

India dealt an early blow! Green draws first blood for England as George hits it straight to point. He looks to drive but ends up hitting the outside half of the bat. A good low catch from Mayes!

Aaron George c Mayes b Green 9 (11)
IND: 20/1 (3.6)

Excellent drive from George! Overpitched from Morgan, and the centurion from the last game places it aerially into the gap between cover and mid-off. Sublime shot!
IND: 4/0 (0.4)

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