Rew Smashes Record-Breaking Ton as England U19 Seal Thrilling One-Wicket Win Over India

Somerset’s Thomas Rew blasted a sensational 131 off just 89 balls—featuring 16 fours and 6 sixes—to break the record for the fastest century by an England Under-19s player and guide his team to a thrilling one-wicket victory over India in the second one-day international at Northampton. Rew’s 73-ball century eclipsed Ben Foakes’ previous mark and formed the backbone of England’s successful chase of 291, leveling the five-match series at 1-1.

Rew shared a crucial 123-run stand with Rocky Flintoff (39), but a late collapse left England needing seven runs with just one wicket in hand. Seb Morgan held his nerve, finishing the game with a boundary with three balls to spare.

Earlier, India posted 290 in 49 overs thanks to contributions from Vaibhav Suryavanshi (45), Vihaan Malhotra (49), and a brisk 78-run partnership between Rahul Kumar and Kanishk Chouhan. England’s bowlers were wayward, conceding 26 wides, but Alex French (4 for 71), Jack Home (3 for 65), and Alex Green (3 for 58) eventually cleaned up the innings.

India’s RS Ambrish claimed 4 for 80 to keep the match in the balance, but Rew's record-breaking knock proved the difference in a memorable chase.
