Nothing went right for Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men on Day Two of the third Test at Eden Gardens yesterday with Alastair Cook’s England finishing the day on 216 for one. Cook, in the middle of a purple patch with the bat, was unbeaten on 136 and had Jonathan Trott (21) for company at the end of day’s play.

The only England batsman dismissed was opener Nick Compton (57), who was trapped leg-before by Pragyan Ojha. u00a0With this century, Cook surpassed illustrious compatriots such as Sir Wally Hammond, Colin Cowdrey, Geoffrey Boycott and Kevin Pietersen — all of whom have 22 centuries under their belt. Cook, who has amassed 493 runs in the series with an average of 164.33, has now scored a century in each of the five Test matches he has led the English side.
