A career-best five for 31 runs by India’s off-spinner Harbhajan Singh helped India beat England by 39 runs Tuesday after it was bowled out for a modest 203 in the first one-day international. Exploiting the bounce in the wicket, Singh struck when England appeared to be heading for a win, taking four wickets for nine runs off six overs in his second spell. He first struck taking the wicket of Matthew Prior for 22 runs. Putting India to bat first after winning the toss, England appeared to have done exceedingly well by taming India’s top order and bowling the team out in 46.4 overs. England was in trouble as soon as they came out to bat, losing Andrew Strauss and Owais Shah in the first over with only four runs on board. Indian seamer Irfan Pathan induced an edge of Strauss’ bat with an outswinger and wicket-keeper Mahender Dhoni caught him without scoring. Pathan struck again on the fifth ball of the over by trapping Shah (4) leg before with a delivery that cut in sharply. India Top order had thrown away their wickets as wicket was condusive to batting. However at the end of the day Indian bowlers had the last laugh.
