...lovely stuff. Well done, Alastair Cook, doing it in style.

what odds would you get on him getting a century and having a new kid today?

 

[Eggs]

cook should retire out now, unbeaten century is the perfect way to retire.

50 & in his first and last test both v india, great symmetry.

..100 in his first and last test. Only the 5th (I think) in the history of the game. Some achievement.

where did you work mate?

*Corrected.

Well done Cook, he must have had a lot of pressure on him.

Great stuff. Sneaked the radio on to listen once I heard he was in the 90s. Great moment and sounded class.

Probably underlines the role pressure plays in the sport doesn't it? Cook is heading off into retirement and is playing as well as he has for years. Likewise with Root, he has terrible trouble converting starts into decent scores, yet it looks like he's free as a bird in this dead rubber.

1st ever person to hit a 50 & a 100 in their last test. He's broken about twenty records in this match alone tbh.
