India 292-9 (50 overs) bt England 238 (47 overs) by 54 runs

Another magnificent display from Yuvraj Singh saw India beat England by 54 runs in Indore to claim a 2-0 lead in the seven-match one-day series.Stuart Broad (4-55) reduced India to 29-3 but Yuvraj (118), Gautam Gambhir (70) and later Yusuf Pathan (50 not out off 29 balls) helped them post 292-9.Kevin Pietersen (33) and Andrew Flintoff (43) gave England hope of an unlikely win but both fell to Yuvraj.
The spinner took 4-28 as England were bowled out for 238 after 47 overs.The tourists must take heart from an improved performance following their 158-run defeat in Rajkot.But they will find it difficult to work their way back into the series against a side far superior to them with bat, ball and in the field, as the series moves to Kanpur on Thursday.
While India could hardly have hit a richer vein of form, England’s 4-0 win against South Africa is now a distant memory.England lost the toss and were asked to field on a cracked pitch that was expected to favour the team batting first.But India should have lost Gambhir with the very first delivery when Samit Patel collected at short mid-wicket only to send his throw wide of the stumps from close range.
Gambhir and Virender Sehwag were struggling to cope with the movement James Anderson was generating off the seam and, still in the first over, the paceman beat Gambhir’s outside edge and almost bowled Sehwag via an inside edge.
