The Ashes: Proud to have scored a double century, says Alastair Cook

It was Alastair Cook's day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, with England's former captain bringing up his double-century to the delight of thousands of 'Barmy Army' fans on day three of the fourth Test. Already England's greatest run-scorer, the 33-year-old opener stonewalled Australia's bowling attack for more than 10-and-a-half hours, eclipsing a stack of historical batting records along the way as the tourists piled on 491 for nine at stumps on day three, a lead of 164 over Australia with one first-innings wicket still in hand.
