England's captain Alastair Cook is pictured above during his second innings in the 1st. Test against New Zealand
at Lord's. He scored 162 (27th. century), his highest score against the Kiwis, hitting seventeen fours. The two
celebration pictures are his 100 (bottom right) and his 150 - middle left. He batted for 540 minutes and the rest
of the side for 577 minutes. In the next Test, at Headingley, Leeds, Cook passed the record number of Test match
runs by an English batsman, overtaking Graham Gooch's 8,900 - which had stood since 1995.
