1st T20I: KL Rahul's unbeaten 101 lead India to victory over England

KL Rahul hit a sublime unbeaten century to lead India to a dominant eight-wicket victory over England in the first Twenty20 at Old Trafford.

Set 160 to win, Rahul's 101 off 54 balls eased the tourists to their target, captain Virat Kohli completing an emphatic chase with a six.

Earlier, Kuldeep Yadav took 5-24, including three wickets in one over, to deplete England's batting line.

England were restricted to 159-8 after they collapsed from 94-1 following India skipper Virat Kohli's decision to insert the hosts at the toss.

Jos Buttler made 69 and David Willey's late hitting took them to 159-8. But it proved far too little as India cruised home with 10 balls to spare.

England's form in ODI cricket has seen them climb to number one in the world in that format, but their T20 side remains a work in progress.

India take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, with the second T20 in Cardiff on Friday.
