India win first Twenty20 in Pune

Yuvraj Singh starred with bat and ball as India won the first Twenty20 international against England in Pune by five wickets. Having won the toss and inserted England, India restricted the tourists to 157-6 from their 20 overs. Alex Hales hit 56 and Jos Buttler 33 but England's total was well below par. Yuvraj took 3-19 from his four overs. In reply, Yuvraj top-scored for India with 38 as the hosts reached their target with 13 balls to spare. England's bowling attack served up 10 wideand will have to be far more disciplined if they are to square the series in Mumbai on Saturday. With regulars Kevin Pietersen, Graeme Swann and Steven Finn all rested after their exploits in the 2-1 Test series win and Stuart Broad injured, Eoin Morgan led an inexperienced England line-up.
