Scorecard
Earlier, MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina led the Indian fightback and helped the hosts reach a formidable score of 177/8.
The duo put up a quickfire 60 run partnership with Dhoni hitting 3 boundaries and 2 sixes and Raina remaining not out at 34 and having 3 boundaries and a single six to his credit.
India then lost the wickets of Dhoni (38 off 18 balls) and Ravichandran Ashwin (1) in quick succession. Dhoni was caught easily by Samit Patel off the bowling of Tim Bresnan.
Earlier, James Tredwell struck to clean bowl the dangerous looking Rohit Sharma, who hit a swift 24 in just 19 deliveries, after Luke Wright picked up his second wicket of the match when he dismissed Gautam Gambhir.
Gambhir hit a thick top-edge to the fielder at third man and brought to an end his painful innings of 17 runs off 27 balls that consisted of a single boundary.
Before that, Stuart Meaker helped England get the wicket of Virat Kohli right before Wright struck to dismiss Yuvraj Singh.
Kohli (38 off 20 balls) played a gem of an innings by hitting 7 boundaries and blasted his way through the English bowlers to stabalise the Indian innings after losing Ajinkya Rahane early.
Meaker was able to catch Kohli plumb in front of the wicket after the Delhi batsman completely misjudged a slower delivery.
Yuvraj (4) on the other hand never looked settled when he pulled an outside off ball straight down the ground to give Root a simple catch to dismiss the southpaw.
Earlier, Kohli along with Gautam Gambhir reached the 50-run partnership in just 25 balls by smashing the pacers to all parts of the boundary.
India suffered an early dent when debutant Joe Root gave the visitors their first wicket when he scalped Rahane right after England skipper Eoin Morgan won the toss and decided to bowl.
Rahane (3), in his attempt to swing, found the outside edge of a good length Root delivery and was caught comfortably by Jade Dernbach at third man.

India: MS Dhoni (Capt.), Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Ravichandran Ashwin, Piyush Chawla, Ashok Dinda, and Parvinder Awana.
