Swann wants England to silence Indian crowd

---

NAGPUR, Feb 23 (AFP): Graeme Swann wants to silence the passionate home crowd when England face World Cup co-hosts India in Bangalore Sunday.
The Ashes-winning off-spinner returned to international action for the first time since the birth of his son with an impressive two for 35 during England's tournament-opening six-wicket win over the Netherlands Tuesday.
But the 31-year-old's bowling was one of the few highlights in a lacklustre display in the field littered with dropped catches and wayward fast bowling on a good batting pitch.
India launched their campaign with an 87-run victory away to fellow co-hosts Bangladesh in Dhaka and are strongly fancied to add a second title to their 1983 World Cup trophy in front of their adoring fans.
"The fact it's against India in India is going to make it a huge game," said Swann after England saw off the Dutch with eight balls to spare.
