England V India Update – Cook Hits A Century In His Final Innings
September 11, 2018
Cook lifted his bat for one last time in his final innings for England, scoring 147 from 286 balls.
“The timing is right,” said Cook. “This has been an 18-month process.
I started noticing things in my game and preparation were missing. That edge isn’t there.”
If there is anything missing it wasn’t noticeable in his final test, scoring a total of 218 runs to keep his team in the match.
It was Hanuma Vihari that spoiled the party for Cook with a well-placed ball outside off stump finding the edge of the bat.
England then went on to post 423 runs before declaring with India needing 464 runs to win.
It didn’t take long for England’s bowlers to strike with Dhawan given out LBW from a brilliant Anderson delivery.
India then began to collapse with Pujara and Kohli both out without troubling the scorers.
India will continue on Day 5 at 58/3 and still needing 406 runs to win.
