Intro:

England captain Alastair Cook reflected on relations with the Indian tourists, Jimmy Anderson's exoneration and the inclusion on Steven Finn in the bowling line-up as he looked ahead on Wednesday to the fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester.

SOUNDBITE (English) Alastair Cook, England captain:

(on Anderson's concern that he wouldn't be able to bowl in his home Test).

"Yeah, he's a little bit less grumpy, which is nice for Jimmy, but actually in those last two Tests he's bowled, with this hanging over him, he's bowled really well, so I don't think it's really affected his performance on the field at all, so it's great that it's now behind him, he gets to play in a home Test match. I know it's very special for every guy to play in a home Test match. Unfortunately, they don't seem to play Test cricket at Chelmsford, so I don't think I'll ever experience that, but for him to be playing here, it'll mean a lot to him. I think that's what his biggest concern was, that he wouldn't get to play at Old Trafford."
