This would depend on what one means by "Speak English." Certainly many Chinese and Indians study English and by pure population advantage should have more "speakers," but this "speaking" is often quite limited in scope and certainly could never be considered fluent. To use the definition of "English" and fluent loosely, there is no country with more fluent English speakers than the US. Here's a list from Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population>
India has more English speakers than the US. English is one of the official languages of India and is widely spoken across the country due to its historical colonization by the British.

Exact numbers are difficult to produce for this, but China is estimated to be equal or ahead of India in this numbers game.

Of course, nearly all will be as second language.
It depends on what you mean by top 50. If you are talking about the number of speakers, then many languages in this group are spoken in more than one country, including: English Spanish German French Hindi-Urdu Mandarin Portuguese
