HIGHLIGHTS
OUT! Shivam Mavi strikes! Mahuru was beaten neck and crop. Clearly beaten for pace there with the ball jagging back in. The bat came down late and he looked like a dead duck.
Mahuru lbw b Shivam Mavi 4(7)
Toss update: Prthivi Shaw has won the toss and he asks PNG to bat first.
After 6 overs, PNG 25/1 (Simon Atai(w) 13, Heagi Toua 0 ) PNG get a move on with couple of well-timed pull shots by Atai. Nagarkoti persisted with the shot ball and Atai was upto the task.
FOUR! Nagarkoti drops it back of the length again and Atai seemed ready for it. Similar shot in the similar area, it was played slightly aerially but well within control.
FOUR! Banged in short and Atai manages to rock back and pull it away to square leg boundary for the first four of the bat.
After 5 overs, PNG 15/1 (Simon Atai(w) 3, Heagi Toua 0 ) Mavi tests Atai with a short ball and clearly he had no clue to how he managed to get some bat on it as he unconvincingly tried fending it away. The batsman was so confused that he set off for a run which was never there, but the fielder coming from point, missed the stumps.
After 4 overs, PNG 14/1 (Simon Atai(w) 2, Heagi Toua 0 ) Nagarkoti finds his rhythm as he keeps it on and outside the off side with only a single coming off a bye – which really shouldn't have – off the over.
After 3 overs, PNG 13/1 (Simon Atai(w) 2, Heagi Toua 0 ) Edge...but safe! The ball comes off from the splice of the bat but no second slip in position means they can run a single to third man. Mavi gets one to come back into the left-hander that hits the pads and the ball rolls onto the leg side for a couple. Heagi Toua is in at number three after Mavi trapped Mahuru.
OUT! Shivam Mavi strikes! Mahuru was beaten neck and crop. Clearly beaten for pace there with the ball jagging back in. The bat came down late and he looked like a dead duck. Mahuru lbw b Shivam Mavi 4(7)
After 2 overs, PNG 9/0 (Simon Atai(w) 1, Igo Mahuru 1) Nagarkoti spraying it down the leg side on more than couple of occasions to the left hander as he looks to get his lines right. Four leg-byes and a wide that wasn't collected cleanly gave an extra run.
Kamlesh Nagarkoti will bowl the second over from the pavilion end
After 1 over, PNG 2/0 (Simon Atai(w) 1, Igo Mahuru 0) All eyes on the speed gun as Mavi begins the first over, warms up with couple of deliveries in lower 130s making his way close to 140 by the end of it. We see some variable bounce on the wicket with the ball climbing over chest to the keeper and scurrying as low as the ankles of the batsmen in the first over straightaway. Suggesting the dampness in the pitch probably because of the rains early morning the pitch is still. A wide and a over throw from point gives them the couple of runs.
Shivam Mavi to start the proceedings for India from Mount end. Simon Atai will take strike. Igo Mahuru at the other end.
After having lost to Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in their opening game. They are up against a formidable Indian side, how fast can India bowl them out, going by their young bowlers pace, soon. Very soon.
How early will they be able to wrap it up or PNG show some fight.
Welcome to the live Blog here from Tauranga. The news from the middle, in Ravi Shastri's words, is that India have won the toss and will field. Arshdeep Singh has come in for the injured Ishan Porel, that's the only change for India. Overcast conditions, (there was a bit of rain this morning) is why India have chosen to field. Besides the fact that they would like to wrap up this match early, that is.
It is overcast condition in Bay Oval with strong winds blowing around the ground will assist the fast bowlers.
Toss update : Prthivi Shaw has won the toss and he asks PNG to bat first.
After not starting off as they would have liked against Afghanistan in their opening game Pakistan Under-19 have strearolled past Ireland Under-19 with a 9-wicket win. Shaheen Afridi has wrecked havoc in Ireland camp. Have a look in the link below

Extremely excited to have another look at these young, fast and steamy Indian U-19 bowlers! Such a revelation seeing them bowl.
Hello and welcome to Firstpost's live coverage of India's second match of the ICC U-19 World Cup 2018, against Papua New Guinea. India won the first match convincingly and Prithvi Shaw's boys would look to continue the momentum.
ICC Under-19 World Cup 2018 IND vs PNG, latest updates: Mavi tests Atai with a short ball and clearly he had no clue to how he managed to get some bat on it as he unconvincingly tried fending it away. The batsman was so confused that he set off for a run which was never there, but the fielder coming from point, missed the stumps.
Preview: India and Papua New Guinea (PNG) could barely have had more contrasting starts to the tournament. While India’s opening game was an almost-complete performance over much-fancied Australia, Papua New Guinea were thrashed by Zimbabwe in a rain-shortened clash, which means they must win to keep their quarter-final hopes alive.
India meanwhile will want not just to win, but to lay down a marker to make sure all the other teams know to be afraid of them. Their one worry will be the fitness of fast bowler Ishan Porel, who hurt his ankle after slipping in his delivery stride against Australia. He will be sent for a scan, but India may well look to rest and rotate regardless of the results.

Players to watch
Kamlesh Nagarkoti (Ind)
Most of the pre-match hype was around Prithvi ‘the new Sachin’ Shaw and his band of batsmen. But while they didn't disappoint, perhaps most eye-catching was the pace at which India’s quicks bowled, with Australia largely unable to cope. Skidding the ball on from a low height, with a smooth action and braced front leg, Kamlesh Nagarkoti was the pick and quickest of the bowlers. With Ishan Porel an injury doubt, Nagarkoti may take the new ball, and since PNG will never have faced a bowler nearly as quick as him, he could cause havoc.
Ovia Sam (PNG)
All PNG’s batsmen struggled against Zimbabwe, but Ovia Sam looked the most assured, and also the most likely to succeed in a full-length innings, relying on risk-free singles and doubles - his 24 came at better than a run a ball despite containing no boundaries. With India unlikely to offer many loose deliveries, the ability to rotate the strike will be crucial.
Head to head
India and PNG have faced off three times in the ICC Under 19 Cricket World Cup, India winning by over 100 runs each time, PNG dismissed for less than 100 every time.
Forecast
There are showers forecast for the morning in Tauranga, but these are set to stop by the time play starts in the afternoon, though clouds may remain.
