Pakistan vs England Highlights, U19 World Cup 2026: England U19 beat Pakistan U19 by 37 runs

Ahmed Hussain to Thomas Rew, Tossed up, full and on off, Thomas Rew gets forward to defend but gets an inside edge to the leg side.

Ahmed Hussain to Ben Mayes, Shorter in length and on middle, Ben Mayes punches it down to long on for a single.

DRINKS! England Under-19 were looking quite comfortable, but the wicket of Ben Dawkins has made things pretty level here now. Skipper Thomas Rew is new at the crease but he is a highly-rated player, while Ben Mayes has already played a couple of eye-catching shots and these two will look to stitch up a partnership. Pakistan Under-19 will hope to get in a few cheap overs and slow things down to put the pressure on the batters. It is going to be an exciting phase of cricket ahead of us.

Ahmed Hussain to Ben Dawkins, OUT! TAKEN! A fantastic catch from the skipper, and Pakistan Under-19 needed something special to get rid of the set Ben Dawkins. This is dragged down again by Ahmed Hussain, outside off, not a wicket-taking delivery at all.  Dawkins throws his hands at it and smashes it really hard, but unfortunately hits it towards short extra cover. It flies low and flat, but Farhan Yousaf dives to his right to take a stunning catch just above the ground. Dawkins cannot believe it but has to walk back for a well-made 33 off 38, and England Under-19 are 55/2.

Powerplay 2! Now, four fielders will be allowed outside the inner ring till the 40th over. Despite losing a wicket, England Under-19 will be happy with how things went in the first 10 overs. Ben Dawkins is looking in fine touch, and is set for a big score here. Pakistan Under-19 needs to tighten up their line and lengths here. Also, Abdul Subhan comes into the attack now.

Joe Moores never looked comfortable as he was missing his shots and Ali Raza just kept his line and length right to get his first wicket in this ICC Under-19 World Cup. This is again on a hard length, pitching it on middle and shaping it away from the left-handed batter. Moores looks to defend it to cover half-heartedly, but the delivery just kisses the outside edge and gets into the gloves of Hamza Zahoor. England Under-19 are 33 after losing their first wicket.
