JAMES Anderson and Andrew Flintoff both struck with the new ball to put India in trouble on 53 for three after 15 overs of today's NatWest Series decider at Lord's.

India lost Sourav Ganguly and Gautam Gambhir to Anderson - and then Flintoff won a fortunate caught-behind decision against Rahul Dravid, who had chosen to bat first on a cloudy morning.

Anderson and Stuart Broad had several moral victories against Ganguly, and Sachin Tendulkar was not entirely assured either - before targeting first change Flintoff at the start of the second powerplay.
