    this is the 34th time in Test cricket that both sides have passed 500 in their first innings.

    Half of those occasions have been in the last ten years.

    Basically the only interesting thing left in this match may well be how many will Cook get?

    295 first target I guess for his top score.
    Longest ever innings?
    300?
    334 to beat Gooch?
    401?


    Long way to go to most of them I'll admit!

    Cook's now batted for 800 minutes. That's longer than any other England player's innings.

    Atherton reckons we'll get a 150-200 run lead and then put Pakistan in for a few hours tomorrow...

    Could Cook go for 400?

    Not if there's no one at the other end!
    I wasn't joking when I said that.

    534-6

    Take away how much of a road the pitch is etc, that is one of the most remarkable innings.

    How on earth can any human concentrate in that heat for that long. An incredible display of patience, technique and endurance.

    Oh and he was still angry with himself when he got out.

    Should have been a no ball, shame it wasn't called.

    Well batted by Cook, amazing concentration levels.

    Great innings!
    Good to see the Pakistani players running up to him to show their respect. I love to see respect shown by an opponent who's been battling against them.

    Hasn't he always opened? I'm guessing that he battled at No 3 before?

    In his first couple of Tests which were away to India in 2006 he opened but, for the two home series that year against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, he dropped to 3 to allow Trescothick to return to partner Strauss. Cook then returned to open for the away Ashes series at the back end of that year and has been there ever since.

    Cook's current Test runs amount to 9593 @ an average of 47.49

    I'm really pleased for Cook. I've always backed him and thought that a batsman with so many runs in the past, would surely come good again.

    Well done Cook. Finally gets a deserved rest until however long Pakistan go out to bat again.
