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!
