INDORE, November 16 (AP): Acute back pain may force Yuvraj Singh out of India's second limited-overs international against England on Monday after the left-hander spurred the home side to a commanding win in the opening match. Yuvraj complained of back stress during Friday's first limited-overs international and used a runner as he posted an unbeaten 138 that helped India clinch a 158-run victory in the first of seven matches. India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said Yuvraj's condition was improving, but a decision on whether to name him for the second one-dayer at the central Indian city of Indore will not be taken until Monday morning. "There's considerable improvement in Yuvraj's condition, but we'll take a final call on him just before the start of play," Dhoni said Sunday. Yuvraj's dazzling knock helped India clinch its highest ever victory by runs against England, whose previous biggest loss to India batting second was by 86 runs at Sydney in 1985. England allrounder and former limited-overs captain Paul Collingwood said Yuvraj's absence would be a big advantage for the tourists. "It was one of the best innings in one-day internationals, Yuvraj scored heavily against us even in the twenty20 World Championship" last year, Collingwood said. "If he's not able to play, obviously it would be bonus for us." Collingwood said pace bowler Ryan Sidebottom has regained fitness and could provide the variety that was missing from the England attack during the opening match. "We need to be more aggressive and we'll definitely bounce back," he said. " India will continue to be without pace spearhead Ishant Sharma, who also missed the opening limited-overs international in Rajkot due to an ankle sprain suffered during the final test match against Australia. Sharma was named player of the four-test series against Australia, which India clinched 2-0 just three days ahead of the limited-overs series with England. "Ishant is virtually out of this match," Dhoni said. Dhoni urged his players to guard against complacency after posting a big win in the first match, saying England should not be taken lightly. "We're always wary of becoming complacent," said Dhoni, who says the current England bowling attack is superior to the one that visited India two years ago. England's touring team drew the 2006 test series 1-1, but India dominated the limited-overs internationals 5-1. "England's a good side. It has a very good attack and we're not taking it lightly," Dhoni said.
