India overpowered England by 49 runs to win the second Twenty20 international at Edgbaston on Saturday as they took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

England, set 171 for victory, were dismissed for 121 in 17 overs, with India seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar taking 3-15.

Earlier, India made 170-8 after being sent into bat.

England debutant paceman Richard Gleeson removed all of India's top three on his way to 3-15 after the tourists had been 49 without loss.  

Chris Jordan followed up with 4-27 but Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten 46 kept India in the game.

The series concludes at Nottingham's Trent Bridge on Sunday.
