Alastair Cook's Final Lord's Century! | 162 vs The Black Caps | England v New Zealand 2015

[Applause] 10 without loss oh he takes the hul on safe gone for four risky really short ball and he's having to fetch it from outside off stom that could have gone anywhere [Applause] that's the push should get a couple here colum is quick but not quick enough to prevent the second run big two overs aren't they big two overs tickle could be a couple might go all the way for four he's tying the ears off it it's four there's a Fielder out on the Hulk plays this nicely leg glance off the face of the bat a little misfield thought aliser cook might have just said an easy one so carefully first runs of the morning and England will feel they deserve some and it will be four S A for [Applause] three it's gone away and it's gone away for four but who am I to argue with a c education didn't have that same ring to it Cricket [Music] [Applause] rectangle a bit of hand on it should prevent it from going all the way to the boundary what of those edges aren't carrying on the full though that's beaten midon beaten bowl and midon both had an attempt at it hook hasn't quite timed it so McCullum with Chase and the Third Run brings the England Captain another 50 and a very good one too because he's had to work really really hard against some outstanding swing bowling and a pitch that continues to be helpful that is a very very good half century but he didn't play much through the upside but that's more so when they're looking to pitch the ball up he gets a chance to cut pce presented the perfect opportunity for Al to cook to get away one of his favorite shots 7.4 milph so no great Pace midd it absolutely middled it back in the groove got it this time England now sneak one run ahead three wickets down though so they canot afford to be complacent not comfortable yet Craig is pretty new to test match cricket what they will say in England's dressing room you get the odd bad ball well it's the odd bad ball because there are three bad balls in this over so it's an odd number but you certainly don't want me bowling short Alisa cook first the offside then the onside pulled away powerfully into the leg side reaches the boundary cook moves on to 67 148 for three playing these pull shots with a lot more conviction a lot more assured with this stroke [Applause] play oh it's straight that's worked very [Applause] fine Henry does a good job terrific shot it's the line allows the shot waiting waiting waiting and then Bang free hit R is no one out yeah it appears that Mark Craig is not patient enough at the moment well another change for Cook to stare out and there he literally does have to because midon is so straight on the pitch B can't get it right just a little bit of poor Direction and good players cash in on those and Cooks getting towards his best 200 up for England after 62 [Applause] overs s in the action again out at the cover this time little short and cook is chopping away Square on the offside and England will remember that first Innings gradually New Zealand seem as tired the more work that they did be aware that every time McCullum has to turn to them for another spell it's putting more mileage into their legs we know what can happen here things can change very quickly short again and but just with a short arm jab as P that to the midwicket fence just too easy fron is saying please p a top this is straight this brings the hundreds one of the few places on the offside where there is a gap for alas to cook gold grin now well played really well played absolutely needed by his team England and alist cook under a lot of pressure at the start of this England second Innings it's not all gone yet but uh Those runs bring aliser cook his 27th test 100 and also England the lead of 102 oh that's pretty close seen them given might just be outside the line spin Vision y doesn't look like there's any bat but we'll go to a hot spot just to double check yep nothing there no no Spike so there's no bat involved so go to ball tracking please mark Ravi just got ball tracking so it's impact is umpire's call which was not out so you'll be staying with your decision as not out Ravi and you're on Cameron now well as we said but good decision not quite close missing off stump as well ravie beautifully driven lovely balance no real swing there so he trusted in hit through the line for [Applause] four there he goes again getting outside the line of off stump and that means that a ball even though it was off stump or thereabouts he can hit that through mid [Applause] arm finds the gaps as well his own unhurried style three this time like that once you lean into it get that front leg bent and get over the ball you have every chance of keeping it on the ground yeah full flow here for Alis cook good follow through cat regarding the pitch that's edged away probably for three come back for three that's four they don't learn I don't think there is anyone better in world cricket off his hip than alist cook B anywhere near his hip you usually go for four that brings up 150 for Alis cook coming back for the second as well seventh time he's got to 150 and he ain't finished yet you've been through a little bit of a lean Trot and you come out the other side it makes you even more hungry one thing that Alistar cook has been throughout his career is hungry for [Applause] runs finally aler Cook gets away with a four down to Third man [Applause] 450 a genuine opening of the face of the bat just sliding it down to the vacon third man that's nice from cook moves on to 161 looking for that outside age looking for a bit of movement off the seam and the slope of course taking the ball away from the left hander was a huge appeal and nothing from you don't think much from The Keeper to be honest review yeah why not yeah that did show me much did it this is one you're talking about now like he may have yep that's good okay all right happy to um there's enough evidence there conclusive to say to me that he's he's got an Inside Edge on that Ravi he's got a little Inside Edge on that um you'll have to overturn your decision to out so you're on camera now to um to overturn your decision to out another excellent example of the DRS system that has worked perfectly the voice of robod Tucker ends aliser Cook's Innings of 162 brilliant knock this is what he would have been hoping for Alis the first test match of the Ball moving around and he was good enough to survive awkward moments played some good Cricket shots and provided a sound base for his team to get an outstanding second inning score 455 on the board at the moment seven wickets down
