The teams now move to Nagpur for the second T20 of the three-match series on Sunday. Skipper Eoin Morgan and batting mainstay Joe Root engineered England's easy chase to secure their seven-wicket victory against India in the first Twenty20 International on Thursday. Beaten in the preceding test and one-day series, England showed discipline with the ball to stifle India's vaunted batting order, restricting them to a modest 147-7 at Kanpur's Green Park Stadium. Morgan and Root then batted India out of the contest with their 83-run partnership. Morgan's fourth six brought up his fifty but the England captain holed out in the very next delivery from Parvez Rasool.
