Amazing to think that a couple of years ago just before the last Ashes series, his Test place was called into question. Now he is a run machine.Originally Posted by Alf
Cook becomes the youngest player to get to 7000 test runs.
Then gets his 23rd Test Century and is now the record holder for England Test centuries.

Yes, I remember the questions about whether he was a "compulsive hooker". I'll leave others to make the punchlines to that.
Well that was a strange dismissal for Cook. Run out trying to avoid being hit by the ball? 190 just short of a double century.

Great effort by Captain Cook.
Bell out for SINGLE figures AGAIN. Needs dropping.
Looks all on an England win now.
Another inspiring performance by the young England captain. I really hope that he continues his form and unlike many, does not allow the captaincy to affect him too much.
Great stuff Cookie.
It seems to have made him better. We had a Strauss before and have a Bradman now.
Any Australians on here like to comment?
I've just seen the Cook run-out on YouTube. They have it on as "funny", and they're dead right - he must be kicking himself.
Have a watch if you get chance.
England 207 in front
India 122 for 6
Looks like an England win to me.
That will teach me to have a lie in :angry: The match is nearly over at tea.
India 217-9 (lead by 10)
