Ryan Sidebottom takes the first over but there is no fairytale start as Wasim Jaffer and Dinesh Karthik negotiate it safely
Karthik strokes a couple of early boundaries off James Anderson as India close in on their target of 73 with ease
The openers rotate the strike at will leaving captain Michael Vaughan with much to ponder on a rare sunny morning
Sidebottom has a couple of leg before wicket shouts turned down by umpire Simon Taufel as England continue to attack
But it is Chris Tremlett who makes the breakthrough - Kevin Pietersen pouching a looping top edge off Jaffer at gully
Karthik is also undone by a rising Tremlett delivery and gloves a catch to keeper Matt Prior to leave India 55-2
Tremlett peppers Sachin Tendulkar and reaps the rewards when Alastair Cook takes a sharp chance at leg gully
But Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly steady the innings to ensure that India reach their target without further loss
The seven-wicket win is only India's fifth in England and puts them 1-0 up in the three-match series with one to play
