CHENNAI (Reuters) - England will be without their leading wicket-taker James Anderson in the fifth and final test against India, captain Alastair Cook said on Thursday.

Anderson experienced soreness in his ankles and shoulder during the previous test in Mumbai, prompting team management to withdraw him from what is essentially a contest of academic interest following India's unassailable 3-0 lead.
