Full commentary

India have won by four wickets. They certainly lost more wickets than they would have liked and plodded towards their target in the final overs, but it's a victory and they'll take it.

Munaf Patel and Irfan Pathan struck the decisive blows early on as England were restricted to a mere 125. Fifty runs more and we could have had a contest but 125 was far too little. India finished the chase in the 30th over to bag their first points of the tournament.

Man of the Match: Munaf Patel for his 3 for 18 off eight overs. He bowled a fabulous line, hardly gave the batsmen any room and extracted enough movement off the pitch to flummox England's top-order.

That's it from us at Cricinfo today. It's been a pleasure bringing you today's game. South Africa play New Zealand at the Brabourne Stadium tomorrow and we'll be live at 2pm local time. Do join us then. Meanwhile, have a pleasant Sunday evening, cheers!

Dalrymple gets another one! bowled from round the stumps and close to the off stump line, Raina pushes forward to defend, ball clips the inside edge - crashes into the pad and rolls into the stumps, India are six down - is there a twist to this ending?
