Flintoff's tour off to flying start

England's star all-rounder Andrew Flintoff began the tour of India with an unbeaten 100 off 85 balls against the Mumbai Cricket Association.

The all-rounder, who scored only 26 runs in three Tests on his previous visit to India in 2002, said: "I've netted hard since I've been out here, but I know it's only a start."

England face a stronger Mumbai team tomorrow in a final 50-over warm-up match before the one-day series against India starts on Friday.

Meanwhile, Australia were bowled out for 209 today to lose the fourth Test against India in Nagpur by 173 runs and the series 2-0.
