Anderson fined


England fast bowler James Anderson has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee after clashing with West Indies batsman Runako Morton.

Anderson, 24, shoulder-barged Morton at the end of an over during the West Indies' victory in the second one-day international at Edgbaston on Wednesday.

Morton reacted angrily to the shove and words were exchanged. There was further tension between the players when Anderson pointedly gestured towards Morton after his dismissal.

Both men were called to see match referee Mike Procter after the match but while Anderson was fined, Morton was found not guilty of breaching the code of conduct.
