Yuvraj Singh struck the second fastest one-day century by an Indian to help the hosts pile up an imposing 387 for five against England in the first one-day international in Rajkot on Friday.
The bowlers then followed it up with another vintage showing to guide India to a 158-run victory as England were bowled out for 229.
Yuvraj smashed 138 not out in just 78 balls as India posted their best one-day total at home and also their best against a Test side.
