Relive some of the highs and lows from Cook's England career

Alastair Cook leaves the Test arena as England's more-than man.

He has played more Tests than any other Englishman, scored more runs, held the most catches and the most Test caps as an England captain.

Click on the video above to relive the highs - and the lows - as Charles Colvile looks back on the left-hander's long and distinguished career.

From his early days as England U19 captain and remarkable Test debut, this look back at Cook's epic contribution to cricket, also charts how he turned his form around after a poor summer of 2010 to help Andrew Strauss' side to a memorable 2010/11 Ashes campaign.

Plus Colvile analyses Cook's time as captain, starting with the series win in India where England came from behind to win 2-1, the fallout from the Kevin Pietersen row and how England rallied to win the 2015 Ashes.

This is the story of England's most prolific run-scorer - and it is compelling.
