Cook now the youngest man to score 7000 runs in Test cricket

[Buzzo]

Cook is going to break pretty much every batting record in cricket.

[Pedenj]

50 for Compton

Nice to have an opening partnership that does exactly what they are supposed too.

Well that was the ****ing kiss of death

Five hundreds in five Tests as captain for Cook so far. Unbelievable.

[Chazza]

Well this is all rocking along very nicely 201-1 Cook 132no.

[Alex]

I thought this was only Cooks third test as captain?

[Chazza]

Hopefully Trott can get in and score some runs.

[Chazza]

I thought this was only Cooks third test as captain?

Think he has captained on a tour before when Strauss didn't go.

Bangladesh maybe?

[Pedenj]

Truly one of the best batsman in the world right now.

Good day for England today. Just a shame that RR couldnt have been higher. But then again, you dont expect much else from Cook. Get 100 ahead of them and declare. I think we could finish this off by the end of the 4th day.

[Vermilion]

Cook is one cool dude, so laid back, he has become a truly excellent batsman.

The fact he kept his form after being made Captain has been huge for England.

Aim has to be to bat all day tomorrow and then assess things. If we do that we'll be about 200/250 ahead. Thats still a long way off and we are still only a collapse away from letting India back into the game.
