Suryavanshi, 14, hits record 52-ball ton v England U19s
Fourth youth one-day international, WorcesterIndia 363-9 (50 overs): Suryavanshi 143 (78), Malhotra 129 (121)England: Yet to batScorecard Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi hit the fastest century on record in youth one-day internationals in a remarkable 143 for India against England at who shot to fame by becoming the youngest player and century-maker at the Indian Premier League earlier this year, reached three figures in just 52 deliveries in a stunning display of boundary opener crashed 13 fours and 10 sixes in his 78 deliveries to power his side to straight-hitting off pace and spin was particularly devastating but he also slashed cuts and heaved away previous fastest century in youth ODIs was a 53-ball effort by Pakistan's Kamran Ghulam against England in who scored 86 in the third ODI earlier this week and 45 and 48 in the first two matches of the series, shared a partnership of 219 with number three Vihaan Malhotra for the second made a comparatively sedate 129 from 121 are 2-1 down in the five-match series and their target of 364 requires a record run chase in the format. 'India keen to shield teenager' - analysis by BBC Sport journalist Matthew HenryThis is the latest eye-catching moment for a player who shot to superstardom earlier this year. Yes, it is only a youth international but Suryavanshi is the youngest player in either squad by two-and-a-half years. He has looked at least a level or two above the all of the glitz and glamour, Suryavanshi became the youngest player to score a century in any top-level men's T20 at the IPL in a result, when he travelled to the UK for this tour, he was stopped for selfies in the airport and on the plane from appears destined to go onto big things but India are understandably cautious and want to manage the attention he receives. The teenager has been shielded from media opportunities while it is understood there have been countless offers for big-money sponsorship are areas to improve. His fielding has looked weak on this tour, which is to be expected given his a bat in hand, however, he is a world-class talent - one far beyond his years.

England to face world record chase as India lead grows to 484 at Edgbaston
England will need to summon a world record chase for an unlikely win in the second Rothesay Test, with India's lead swelling to a massive 484 on the fourth afternoon at Edgbaston. Ben Stokes' side have pledged to go after whatever target they are set rather than fight for a draw but will need to beat the biggest fourth-innings pursuit ever seen after India continued racking up the runs in Birmingham. They moved to 304 for four at tea, Shubman Gill continuing his remarkable form in his first series as captain with his third century in four knocks this summer. In following his first-innings 269 with an even 100 not out, Gill also became the highest-scoring Indian batter in a single Test. Traditional cricketing logic would suggest India already have more than enough in the bank to push for the 10 wickets they need to level the series at 1-1, but their refusal to entertain a declaration and push towards 500 suggests England's reputation as fearless chasers has spooked them. They hunted down 378 for the loss of just three wickets at this ground in 2022 and finished five down pursuing 371 at Headingley last week. With four full sessions to go, India appear unsure just how far they need to go to be safe. The tourists held all the cards as play began, already 244 in front with nine wickets in hand. Brydon Carse did his best to undercut their position with a challenging initial spell, eventually getting a deserved scalp when Karun Nair's booming drive clipped the edge and carried through to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith. KL Rahul was a thorn in England's side, making 55 before Josh Tongue speared one through his defences and sent middle stump tumbling. By then the lead had already ticked past 300 and there was more to come as Rishabh Pant began a chaotic cameo. He blasted 65 off 58 balls, with three sixes and eight fours, swinging with so much gusto he twice lost his grip and sent the bat flying into the outfield. He got away with the first one, scurrying to collect his blade from square-leg, but was caught by Ben Duckett at deep mid-off when he let lost control a second time. Zak Crawley missed an easy chance to cut his explosive stay on just 10, shelling a simple mid-off catch off Stokes' bowling to cap and increasingly weary performance. England had spent 151 overs in the field in the first innings and had racked up another 67 by tea, the miles bearing heavy in their legs. India added 127 runs in the afternoon session, grinding England down rather than going for all-out aggression. Gill was in complete control, breezing to three figures in 127 balls, while Ravindra Jadeja was unexpectedly pedestrian in reaching 25no from 68.

Women's Vitality T20 Blast, Emirates Old TraffordLancashire Thunder 55-2 (6 overs): Lamb 21, Jones 17Essex Eagles 47-7 (8 overs): Winfield-Hill 13; Cross 2-9, King 2-17Lancashire (5 pts) beat Essex (0 pts) by eight wicketsMatch scorecard Ashes rivals Kate Cross and Alana King shared four wickets to set Lancashire Thunder up for a convincing rain-affected T20 Blast win over Essex Eagles at Emirates Old Trafford that kept the hosts' Finals Day hopes seamer Cross and Australia leg-spinner King struck twice apiece in the space of 10 legitimate balls in the sixth and seventh overs of what turned out to be an eight-over Essex innings as they slipped to 38-6 and later totalled 47-7.A two-hour rain delay ravaged a fixture which both sides realistically needed to win to maintain hopes of a top-three finish, and it was Thunder who claimed the crucial five points as they reeled in a revised target of 52 in six overs thanks largely to opener Emma Lamb's 21 off 17 fourth win in nine games - this by eight wickets on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method - means they leapfrog Essex into fifth place but are still 11 points behind third-placed Bears, whom they host on Sunday (13:00 BST), with five games meanwhile, lost for the sixth time in nine games and have a mountain to climb, beginning with Sunday's trip to league leaders Surrey at The Kia Oval (12:00). Thunder, who importantly won the toss and elected to bowl first, made a fast start with the ball either side of the two-hour they reduced Essex to 24-2 after five overs. Seamer Phoebe Graham, making her first competitive appearance of the summer for Thunder, struck in the fourth over when she uprooted the leg-stump of Lissy swing bowler Tara Norris then had the other Essex opener Lauren Winfield-Hill well caught low down at cover by Ailsa Lister. Only four more balls were bowled before play was upon the resumption, with an eight-overs per side game now in motion, Thunder struck four times in the first 10 legitimate balls back to all but end any realistic chance Essex had of had compatriot Maddie Penna well taken low down at square-leg by Lister off a full toss before getting Cordelia Griffith caught behind cutting later in the sixth the seventh, Cross uprooted Jo Gardner's off-stump and had an attacking Eva Gray caught behind. Amara Carr was then run out off the final ball of the innings. Opener Winfield-Hill was the only Essex batter to reach double figures with Jones (17) set Thunder on their way in the chase with an eye-catching straight driven boundary off Esmae MacGregor's seam before dragging Gray to midwicket as Thunder slipped to 29-1 in the Lamb hit three leg-side boundaries before being run out with only four runs required, with King (1no) and Lister (4no) completing the formalities with two overs to supplied by the ECB Reporters' Network, supported by Rothesay
