    #ThisDayThatYear: Alastair Cook reaches 10,000 Test runs
  • On this day in 2016, Alastair Cook became the first England player to score 10,000 runs in Test cricket.

    At 31 years and 157 days, he was the youngest to reach the landmark as England played Sri Lanka in the second Test at Chester-le-Street.

    The hosts won by nine wickets after having enforced follow-on on Sri Lanka.

    Here is how the match panned out.

    The visitors were bundled out for 101 as James Anderson and Stuart Board rattled the line-up.

    The duo shared seven wickets.

    Sri Lanka were handed a follow-on, having trailed by 397 runs.
