Bashley (Rydal) teenager Ryan Higgins hit 65 off 46 balls but was unable to save England Under-19s from another heavy defeat against Pakistan in the tri-Series at Grace Road, Leicester.

Higgins, who made 45 against Bangladesh last week, thumped a six and 12 fours, top scoring in England’s 189 all out.

Pakistan posted a daunting 369-7, with Hampshire Academy left-arm quick Tom Barber taking 2-68 off only seven overs.

Academy team-mate Lewis McManus was dismissed for seven as England crashed to a 180-run defeat.

The local trio are aiming to secure a place in the England squad for the next ICC Under-19 CWC in Dubai.
