I cant believe people are critiquing cooks run rate. Would take this many runs at a strike rate of 50 any day. Whats the point in getting yourself out when your on to become one of the few in cricket who have reached a 300 innings.

Vaughan just made a good point, if we put India in now they'll just moan about bad light which the umpires already look concerned about.

edit: bah, what are the umpires playing at...

ringo747 · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:18

For goodness sake - numpty umpires.

Jimbeam3678 · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:19

Off for bad light what the hell?!?!

Oh, for the love of....

Not again. The lights are on and they could carry on. This is a joke.

Entropy · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:21

This is silly. Im sure the batsmen would gladly stay out there flat bowling causing no problems

Pretty sure if allowed they'd bat till midnight under candlelight and still not have any problems

They should be declaring. The lead is big enough.

Pighardia · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:42

Yes it clearly is very dangerous.

As Boycs said earlier "My grandmother could bat against this lot with a stick of Rhubarb"

India are really good at cricket.

No point now, as said above India will just moan and moan about the light, may as well just keep piling on the runs, there's still loads of time left.

:cool:

Bresnan six! Epic way to bring up the 700 and his own 50!

Cosimo · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:44

Boom, big six, Bresnan's 50 and 704-6.

Squark · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:44

Sharma to Bresnan, SIX, that's tasty... makes room, gets a length, gets under it, and lofts it over wide long-on, brings up his own fifty, and England's 700

Doing it in style eh Bresnan

dante6491 · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:50

Ach. 294 and caught. Declare now.

Cosimo · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:50

Cook finally out for 294. Great innings. 710-7.

One More Solo · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:50

What a shame, but great innings.

platypus · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:51

Oh Alistair ffs. One of the only shots he's not played immaculately.

Squark · 12 Aug 2011 at 17:51
