Such a shame that Cook didn't get to 300. But his 13 hour stint has got him to 6th place on the list of all time highest test innings by an English batsman. It reminded me of an old John Smiths tv advert where the batsman goes on and on and is only eventually bowled when his bat gets wood worm.
Once agin the Indians showed great sportsmanship and generosity in their congratulations to Cook for his innings.
