Alastair Cook's career is full of monumental statistics. Here, Press Association Sport uncovers a few more:
14 - Cook's age when he made a century as a guest, making up the numbers for the MCC, against his own Bedford School team.
2 - The number of innings he needed to record his first Test hundred. He made an unbeaten 104 at the second time of asking on debut against India in Nagpur - after a paltry 60 at his first attempt.
6,000 - His journey, in miles, flying over three continents from an A tour in the Caribbean at 24 hours' notice to fill in again as an emergency replacement batsman in that first Test.
11 - A team full of all-time greats, led by India's Little Master Sachin Tendulkar with 15,921, have made more Test runs than Cook. The England captain has more than any other current international player.
35 - The number of innings without a century during Cook's uncharacteristic drought between May 2013 and March 2015.
294 - His career-best score, against India at Edgbaston in 2011 when England went to number one in the world Test rankings. Typically, Cook was more concerned afterwards with the six runs he did not score rather than all the ones he did.
4. and counting - Cook's Ashes series successes so far, including two as captain.
