Scorecard

Ben Mayes struck the highest score by an England player in the Under-19s World Cup in their group-stage match against Scotland in Harare.

Hampshire's Mayes, 18, hammered 191 - falling one short of the overall record tournament score of 192, set by Sri Lanka's Viran Chamuditha against Japan four days ago.

The right-hander, who was batting at number three, smashed 18 fours and eight sixes in his blistering 117-ball knock.

He was well supported by Lancashire's Joe Moores - nephew of former England coach Peter - who hit 81 off 65 balls in a second-wicket stand of 188.

Mayes takes the national record from Dan Lawrence, who hit 174 for England against Fiji in 2016.

England finished on 404-6 - the seventh-highest score in tournament history and the first time England themselves have passed 400.

Scotland are yet to bat.
