Alastair Cook enhanced his already outstanding legacy by moving into the top five Test run-scorers of all time in his final England outing.
The opening batsman has retired from England duty following the end of The Oval Test against India and a century in his final international innings took him past the 12,400-run mark recorded by Sri Lanka great Kumar Sangakkara.
In his final innings, Alastair Cook passes @KumarSanga2 to become the fifth-highest run-scorer, and the highest scoring left-handed batsman in Test cricket history! Congratulations Chef! ?#ENGvIND #CookRetires pic.twitter.com/2GxH7NNanj
