Cook, England’s highest run-scorer in Tests, has been in wretched form this year averaging just 19, easily his worst since debuting in 2006. In the last 13 innings, Cook has managed just one half-century with experts coming down hard on the former captain. In the first two Tests of the ongoing series against India, Cook has scores of 2, 13 & 0 but with England winning on both occasions, his constant failures haven’t always been the talking point. However, with the hosts needing a further 498 runs to win the third Test at Trent Bridge, Cook will need to get all his experience into play and dig in with two days remaining in the game. England’s concerns have been further amplified with Keaton Jennings’ patchy form and Jonny Bairstow’s fracture to his left middle finger on Day 3. Though the wicket-keeper batsman will bat in the fourth innings if needed.
