In an electrifying display of cricket, Somerset's Thomas Rew achieved a record-breaking 131 runs, lifting England Under-19s to a thrilling one-wicket win over India in Northampton's second Youth ODI.

Rew's knock, which shattered the England U-19 fastest century record, laid the groundwork for a nail-biting chase after India set a formidable target of 290. The young sensation reached three figures in just 73 balls, surpassing Ben Foakes' previous record.

England's captain, supported by Rocky Flintoff's crucial 123-run stand, steered the team past a tense finale. Middlesex's Seb Morgan's last-over boundary clinched the victory with three balls to spare, leveling the five-match series at 1-1.
