Video: Cook cops ball to the balls

Cook

Having caught David Warner off the bowling of James Anderson just three balls before, Cook had half a chance of catching new batsman Steve Smith.

Anderson's delivery caught an outside edge but didn't carry to Cook at first slip despite the English skipper's despairing dive.

Instead, the ball bounced once and and left Cook in severe pain on the ground.

"That's flush..." said David "Bumble" Lloyd on the Channel 9 commentary, while Graeme Swann coudn't watch the replies commentating for BBC: "it gets worse every time...I have to step out."

Watch the incident below.
