India oust England in Under-19 World Cup

Well, that title says it all really. England's batting failed again, but although they were bowled out for 146 the end didn't come until the 46th over, which shows the difficulty they had getting the Indian bowling away. James Taylor ended his impressive tournament with 41 off 88 balls and Ben Brown, the Sussex wicketkeeper, hit 24 off 27 balls, but no one else made an impact. India lost three wickets in reaching the target, with Taruwar Kohli scoring 63 not out.

India will face the winner of tomorrow's game between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, while South Africa will play Pakistan or Australia after walloping Bangladesh by 201 runs. Wayne Parnell, the Springboks captain, had as complete an all-round performance as you could want, making a run-a-ball fifty and then returning the astonishing figures of six for eight. Sportingly, he took himself off after five overs.
