Re: Cricket
Alastair Cook ton gives England control.

Quote:
Alastair Cook's unbeaten century helped England dominate the opening day of the first Test against South Africa at The Oval.
The vice-captain's untroubled 114 not out saw England reach 267-3 by the close, with Jonathan Trott (71) and Kevin Pietersen (42) also in the runs on a miserable day for the tourists.
However, but for Cook and Trott's graft, England might not be in such a commanding position on the first evening of a three-Test series which will determine the best team in the world.
