There are ways you must bowl at Alastair Cook and ways you must not, writes Nasser Hussain in the Daily Mail. While the Australians erred, bowling short at him, the Indians have figured out the recipe to cause Cook problems.
They have mixed it up, dragging the England opener across his stumps with outswingers, then nipping the ball back in as they look for leg-before.
Ok, Hawk-Eye suggested the two balls that got him lbw at Lord's and Trent Bridge were both going over the stumps, but the point is that India have worked out a way of bowling to Cook - and he doesn't like it.
