ANDERSON TARGETS BOTHAM RECORD: James Anderson is eight wickets away from overtaking Ian Botham's record haul of 383 and becoming England's leading wicket-taker in tests. Anderson managed five dismissals in the fourth test to be on 376, and will back himself at the Oval. It has been a troubled series for Anderson, who at one point was facing a four-test ban from a charge of pushing and abusing Ravindra Jadeja. He admitted it was a distraction during the second and third tests, yet still has a series-leading 21 wickets.
