England Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad admits that his side had a bad day against India after posting their lowest ever score in that format.

England Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad has admitted that his side had a bad day in their match against India today.

England were set a target of 171 runs to win, but responded by posting a score of just 80 - their lowest ever total in Twenty20.

Six of the wickets came from spin bowling, raising doubts over England's ability to play it. Broad, however, believes that his side have no problem facing spinners.

"I've seen the guys play spin extremely well, certainly in training, we've been learning in Sri Lanka and we've developed well. We've had a really bad day today but it doesn't affect our destiny. We still get on a bus tomorrow to Kandy and play in the Super Eights," said Broad.

"We were pretty happy with 170. We made a few mistakes in the field and we probably didn't hit our straps as well as we could have done but we didn't get it right with the bat at all.

"India got it very right - I thought they bowled very nicely. We played across the line a bit too much whereas against Afghanistan we struck the ball so straight and very cleanly."

England and India had both already booked their place in the World Twenty20 Super Eights by beating Afghanistan.
