India U19 vs England U19 Live Score Streaming, 4th Youth ODI: When and where to watch Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Co. in action today?
India Under-19 vs England Under-19 Live Streaming, 4th Youth ODI: The India colts led by Ayush Mhatre will aim for a clinical series victory against the Thomas Rew-led English unit when they lock horns in the fourth match of the U19 ODI series. Led by a blistering knock from Vaibhav Suryavanshi, his career-best score in six Youth ODIs, India U19 walloped England in a rain-affected chase. England captain Thomas Rew's unbeaten 76 off 44 deliveries helped England post a competitive 268 for six. However, it was the explosive batting of 14-year-old Suryavanshi that truly stole the show in the second innings. The young southpaw hammered a 20-ball fifty, setting the tone for India's chase. Suryavanshi's sensational innings included nine sixes and six fours before he was dismissed for 86 off just 31 deliveries. India comfortably chased down the 269-run target in a mere 34.3 overs. Suryavanshi's 20-ball half-century is the second-fastest by an Indian batter in youth ODIs, with only Rishabh Pant's 18-ball fifty against Nepal U19 in 2016 being quicker. Additionally, his nine sixes set a new Indian record for the most maximums in all youth ODIs, surpassing the previous joint record of eight held by Raj Angad Bawa and Mandeep Singh.

‘D Gukesh is doing incredibly well. I am not enjoying…': Magnus Carlsen shellshocked after loss
Magnus Carlsen was left swallowing his own words during the ongoing Grand Chess Tour, after reigning world champion D Gukesh defeated him in their Round 6 showdown. Ahead of their face-off, Carlsen had questioned Gukesh's status, and criticised his capabilities in rapid and blitz formats. D Gukesh defeated Magnus Carlsen.(Narendra Modi-X) Speaking after the defeat, Carlsen took a step back from his usual criticism of Gukesh and praised the Indian GM. Speaking to Take Take Take, he said, 'Yeah, he's doing incredibly well. incredibly well now. So, you know, it's a long way to go in the tournament, but, you know, winning five games in a row is no mean feat.' 'Honestly, I am not enjoying playing chess at all right now. I don't feel any flow at all when I'm playing. I'm constantly constantly hesitating and it's just really poor right now,' he added. The game began with Carlsen beginning on a positive note, as both players blitzed out at the start. The world No. 1 tried to catch Gukesh off gaurd with the English Opening, but then in the 23rd move, he decied to push his b pawn, which changed the tide of the match. Meanwhile, Gukesh was humble as ever after his win, and he stated, 'Yes, beating Magnus is always special, for sure. I think this also gives a bit more confidence in a sense that, like, I just had a horrible position from the opening. I just mixed up something really bad. It's nice that, like, two losing positions in a row, I could win against Magnus.' Carlsen recently lost to Gukesh in classical chess at Norway Chess 2025, after a late blunder saw the world No. 1 crumble to a loss and also slam the table in anger. The pair will meet again in two more games, but those face-offs will be in the blitz format.

Sachin Tendulkar highlights biggest change in Siraj during Jasprit Bumrah's absence: ‘His persistence has been rewarded'
Batting great Sachin Tendulkar lavished praise on Mohammed Siraj for his impressive outing against England in the first innings of the Edgbaston Test. The premier pacer led the charge of the Indian bowling attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and flourished in the role with a six-wicket haul. Siraj raised his hand when everybody was talking about Bumrah not playing, and he ran riot with the ball to dismantle the English batting line-up. He was disciplined with the new ball and hit the right areas to trouble the English batters, who found it tough to tackle him on a flat track. Sachin Tendulkar reserves towering praise for Mohammed Siraj.(AFP and Reuters) Tendulkar also highlighted Siraj's accuracy and consistency at Edgbaston in towering praise after he claimed a six-fer. "The biggest change I've noticed in Siraj has been his accuracy and consistency in landing the ball in the right areas. His persistence has been rewarded with 6 wickets. Very ably supported by Akash Deep as well. Well done!" Tendulkar wrote on X. Siraj was under the scanner before the start of the match as a few critics even questioned his place in the XI after Leeds' underwhelming show, but the 31-year-old silenced his doubters at Edgbaston. Despite the monumental 303-run stand between Harry Brook (158) and Jamie Smith (184*), which had briefly tilted the balance towards England, Mohammed Siraj held his nerve and stuck to his task. With the second new ball in hand, the pacer showcased his skill and composure, quickly wrapping up the tail. He removed Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, and Shoaib Bashir in a decisive burst that halted England's charge and ensured India regained control at a crucial juncture in the match. Tendulkar praises 'special partnership' between Brook and Smith The Indian batting great also reserved praise for England's batting duo - Harry Brook and Jamie Smith for their big centuries, which put the hosts back in the game. "Special partnership between Brook and Smith who were under pressure and counterattacked beautifully to bring England much closer to India's total than one would've expected," he added. Meanwhile, under overcast skies, India closed Day 3 at 64 for 1, extending their lead to 244 runs and taking a firm grip on the match with a series-levelling win in sight. The only casualty in the final session was Yashasvi Jaiswal, who fell after a brisk 28. At stumps, KL Rahul remained steady on 28*, with Karun Nair giving him company on 7*. With two full days remaining, the visitors are well-placed to dictate terms and push for victory.
