Eoin Morgan: 'England were promising against India'

Morgan: 'We showed promise'

England captain Eoin Morgan believes that his players showed "promise" against India in their first Twenty20 international on Thursday.

The tourists suffered a five-wicket defeat to India in Pune to trail the hosts 1-0 in the series.

"We lacked a bit of discipline with our batting, ended up 15 or 20 runs short, and we didn't get the early wickets," BBC Sport quotes the 26-year-old as saying.

"But we have a young side and the guys showed a lot of promise tonight. We have to pick ourselves up for Saturday."

The second and final match of the series will be held in Mumbai on Saturday.
