Bulawayo, Feb. 3 -- England Under 19 men's cricket team have set a big target of 278 for archrivals Australia in the 1st semi-final of the ongoing ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026 being played at the Queen's Sports Club in Bulawayo on Tuesday.

Opting to bat first in the must-win game, England U19 captain Thomas Rew led his team with a big knock of 110 runs. He completed his ton with a single in the 39th over. His knock included 14 fours and one six.

Ben Dawkins and Joseph Moores opened the batting for England, but the Australian seamer Will Byrom got the first breakthrough in his first over when he got rid of Dawkins, who departed after making just one run.

In-form batter Ben Mayes joined Moores at the crease and added 50-plus runs...
