The England Under-19s men’s team is through to a Cricket World Cup final for the first time in 24 years after beating Afghanistan in a thrilling semi-final.

Leg spinner Rehan Ahmed took three wickets in the penultimate over to help seal a 15-run victory in Antigua.

Afghanistan looked in control of the chase at 94-1 before three wickets in 12 balls pegged them back.

But the game then turned on its head, twice, inside the last four overs.

It is the first time England has reached the final of the U19 World Cup since winning it in 1998.
