Alastair Cook praises James Anderson after he became England's leading ODI wicket-taker.

England captain Alastair Cook has praised the efforts of fast bowler James Anderson after he became the country's leading one-day international wicket-taker.

Anderson went past Darren Gough's record with his three wickets in the 48-run win over Australia on Saturday and finished with 237 to his name.

"He's a great bowler, he just keeps getting better and better, we're lucky to have him," Cook told Sky Sports News.

"I think they were 30 for one off 10 overs and Jimmy and Stuart Broad were exceptional, not many freebies at all, and it's what you expect from experienced cricketers and they delivered."

The win puts England top of the ICC Champions Trophy Group A.
