Strauss and Cook star for England

Date posted: 17/08/2009

A great opening partnership from GN duo Strauss & Cook has given England a perfect start to the 2nd Npower test at Lords.The two left handed starletts stroked the ball to all parts of NW8 as the Aussie attack stuttered under the pressure of a full house at HQ. Cook who scored in multiples of 4 in the morning session wielded his 2.8oz Xiphos ala Zorro and put Johnson and Co to the sword. With Strauss heading into day 2 unbeaten on 161, he has his sights set on 500 for the boys to defend. COME ON MR STRAUSS
