• Cook will play fifth Test against India and continue for Essex
Alastair Cook has called time on his record-breaking England career and will bow out at the end of the fifth Test with India after admitting “there is nothing left in the tank”.
The 33-year-old will make his 161st and final Test appearance at the Oval from Friday – a match that sees Joe Root’s side having already taken the series through an unassailable 3-1 lead – but will continue playing county cricket for Essex.
