Eoin Morgan says that he is pleased with his "young" England side's performance against India despite their defeat because they showed "a lot of 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.
