CRICKET:Three Englishmen recorded milestone hundreds as India were thrashed by 104 runs at the Rose Bowl in Southampton yesterday.

James Anderson crashed through the 100-wicket barrier in emphatic manner after maiden one-day international hundreds from Alastair Cook and Ian Bell set up the day-night success.

Lancashire fast bowler Anderson, who began the series on 99 career wickets, obliterated the top order and returned career-best figures of four for 23.

That left India groping in the twilight at 34 for four in pursuit of England's impressive 288 for two.
