Cook grasps in after Pietersen wicket

Posted by Kara Johnson on April 28th, 2010

cricket Alastair Cook gritted his teeth and bedded in for the long haul on the third morning at Durban, as he compiled a gutsy half-century to settle England’s innings after the early dismissal of his overnight partner, Jonathan Trott. Cook went to the break on 75 not out, having added 44 runs to his overnight 31 in an attritional session in which Kevin Pietersen was the other big wicket to fall, pinned lbw by Paul Harris while sizing up an ambitious sweep.

In the final half-hour before lunch, Cook began to open his shoulders and go for his shots, cracking Harris out of the attack with a brace of fours through the off-side, before rocking back in his stance to pull Morne Morkel through square leg. But until that late flurry (which was punctuated by a reprieve from the third umpire on 64 when a catch at short leg was shown to have flown straight off the pad), he opted to survive entirely on his wits.

Posted by Ben White on April 18th, 2010

They made light of the early loss of their overnight stalwarts, Jacques Kallis and JP Duminy, to grind out a competitive first-innings 418 on a pitch that offered little of the spice it had promised in the build-up to this match. By the close, England had overcome a jittery new-ball spell to reach 88 for 1 in reply, with Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott unbeaten in an 63-run stand for the second wicket. (more…)
