Chesterfield: Manjot Kalra slammed a century and Kamlesh Nagarkoti picked up a 10-wicket haul as the Indian Under-19 team notched up a crushing 334-run win over England Under-19 side in the opening four-day Test here on Wednesday. Put into bat, Harvik Desai (89) and Manjot (122) produced superb knocks as India posted a massive 519 all out in their first innings.

Will Jacks (46) was the top-scorer for England, while skipper Max Holden (32) and Ryan Patel (38) made useful contributions.
In their second essay, Shaw (69) and Das (50) produced half centuries once again as India colts declared at 173 for six to set England an improbable target of 497. England were cleaned up for 163 with pacer Nagarkoti claiming another five-for.
