Jadeja to Cook, 5 runs, overthrows has given Cook his 33rd and final Test ton.

Well played Cook,

Cook has probably done enough now to ensure that they (the Poms) cannot lose this one. And it looks like runs have come at a fairly decent rate in this session. Root certainly making sure that they can dictate the outcome of the game.
 
Amazing what being under zero pressure allows one to do. The series has been won. He's announced his retirement (so there's no fear of losing his place) and he can just go out there and have some fun more than anything else.

Adil Rashid to Pant, SIX, my oh my! This lad has made a lot of people eat tons of humble pie. Does not have the nerves as he was on 95 and decides to slog sweep the ball away over deep mid. Ton for Pant! Whatta knock!! Another Delhi man used to reach landmark with sixes. Has another one arrived? Saw the flight on it and just knelt down to allow his hands to do the rest
