England defeated India by seven wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series at Green Park, Kanpur on Thursday.
Eoin Morgan won the toss and put India into bat first on a pitch where a run feast was expected. But a disciplined bowling effort from the visitors saw India restricted to just 147/7 in their 20 overs.
The returning Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni made 34 and 36* respectively, but the Indian batsmen were never in command during their time in the middle.
