Raina smashed six boundaries and a six in 63 balls, and was the only player to score a half-century despite every recognized batsman other than Sachin Tendulkar reaching double figures.

Virender Sehwag hit 46 and Dinesh Karthik 44 to be the next highest scorers, while Virat Kohli hit 31 and put on 66 with Raina.

Stand-in captain Jacques Kallis was the most successful bowler with 3-29 from seven overs.

Kallis, who is leading South Africa after Graeme Smith returned home earlier this week after because of a finger injury, asked India to bat first after winning the toss at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

India lost Tendulkar for 4 and the total on 10 when he was sent back by Sehwag only to be left stranded as Wayne Parnell collected the throw from Herschelle Gibbs and broke the stumps.

Sehwag and Dinesh Karthik added 79 for the second wicket before Sehwag was also run out when Karthik's shot was deflected on to the stumps after touching bowler Charl Langeveldt's fingers. Sehwag collected six boundaries and two sixes in 37 balls.

Karthik made 44 off 56 deliveries, hitting a six and five boundaries, before miscuing a pull shot off Langeveldt to Alviro Petersen at mid-on.

India was tottering at 4-138 when Dhoni fell for 26, lobbing a short delivery from Kallis to Albie Morkel at mid-off.

The stand between Raina and Kohli ended when the latter was caught by Gibbs off Albie Morkel.

Yusuf Pathan, making his return to the injury-hit India team, was caught for 18 by Kallis at extra-cover off a full toss from Parnell

Kallis then removed Raina and Ravinder Jadeja for 22 in successive overs, inducing edges to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher.

There are two more ODIs in the series.
