North, Haddin hit tons

Australia saw four of their batsmen score centuries in a Test innings against England for the first time as they took command of the Ashes series opener at Sophia Gardens here on Saturday.
A stand of 200 between Ashes debutants Marcus North (125 not out) and wicketkeeper Brad Haddin (121), which followed Friday's efforts of 150 from captain Ricky Ponting and 122 from opener Simon Katich, saw Australia to a huge total of 674 for six declared before tea on the fourth day.
Come the interval, England had collapsed to 20 for two -still needing a further 219 runs to make Australia bat again -after Alastair Cook was lbw to Mitchell Johnson and Ravi Bopara fell the same way to Ben Hilfenhaus.
The rain which swept across the ground as the players left the field now looked like England's best hope of saving the game.
Only once before in Ashes history had four batsmen scored centuries in an innings, during the course of England's 658 for eight declared atlYent Bridge in 1938.
And this was also the first time any side had scored four hundreds in a Test innings against England.
Australia are the coholders, with Pakistan, of the world record of five hundreds in a Test innings, with their quintet coming in a total of 758 for eight declared against the West Indies at Kingston in 1955.
All five of England's frontline bowlers - James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Andrew Flintoff and Monty Panesar -conceded more than 100 runs as Ashes-holders Australia ruthlessly punished England's lacklustre attack.
In the process Australia provided a masterclass in how to make a big score after three England batsmen had got to fifty without getting to a hundred.
North and Haddin became the 15th and 16th Australians to score hundreds in their first Test innings against England and the first since Damien Martyn and Adam Gilchrist both achieved the feat at Edgbaston in 2001.
Haddin, a stylish wicketkeeper-batsman who had to fill the gap left by the Gilchrist's retirement, showed his class by going down the pitch to loft left-arm spinner Panesar for a six that took Australia past 600.
When he gave off-spinner Swann the same treatment, it meant Australia's sixth-wicket duo had put on 150 with the third fifty coming in just 51 balls.
A single off Swann saw Haddin to his second Test hundred. He holed out off Paul Collingwood to end a 151-ball innings featuring three sixes and 11 fours, at which point Ponting declared.
North's hundred was his second in three Tests after the left-hander made a century on debut against South Africa in Johannesburg in February.
