England U19s 251 for 8 (Sawant 83*, Fenseka 52, Russauw 5-62) Lead South Africa U19s 224 (James 84, Hansen 63, Jack 3-42) for 27 races
The right of Middlesex hit for more than five hours, with the support of a half century Kesh Fonseka, since young lions reached 251 for eight in the stumps.
Sawant joined Foneska at 52 for two after Rossouw, who sent 36 overs today after opening the bowling alley last night, retired Archie Vaughan (24) and Ben Dawkins (22). The couple added 70 for the third Wickt with Fonseka creaking Chad Mason for six on the coverage before mentioning their fifty with a four straight Jason Rowles’s turn.
Fonseka was exhausted by a direct success of Bandile Mbatha when he returned for a second, the only wickt of the day that does not fall to turn. The young Lions lost four by 16 when Rosssouw reached their five wickt tour that threatened to give the hosts a first entry advantage.
Sawant stabilized the issues and reached the closure after hitting five four and a six in his stay of 228 balls, while Yorkshire debutant Alexander Wade was also undefeated in seven of 58 balls.
