LONDON (Reuters) - India warmed up for their seven-match one-day series against England with an easy seven-wicket victory over Scotland in a rain-affected match in Glasgow yesterday.

At one point it seemed the Indians, who included only three players from last week's series-clinching third Test draw against England, would win with embarrassing ease as Scotland slumped to 49 for four after 15 overs.

However, former England all-rounder Gavin Hamilton (44) and Neil McCallum (41) put on 82 in 18 overs to settle things and, after two rain interruptions, the hosts, aided by a string of wides, eventually reached a respectable 203 for nine.

However, India openers Robin Uthappa (55) and Gautam Gambhir (85 not out) put on an untroubled century for the first wicket in 20 overs, making the revised Duckworth-Lewis target of 209 in 46 overs look something of a breeze.

The winning boundary was struck in the 40th over by captain Rahul Dravid, a local favourite from his days as Scotland's overseas player four years ago, in the 40th over.

Yesterday's game was the first of 20 one-dayers that India are scheduled to play before the end of the year, including seven against England, beginning next Tuesday at Southampton.
