Alastair Cook 244* on Day 3 Thursday Dec 28,2017 became the highest score ever by a batsman carrying his bat in Test history

Alastair Cook broke yet another record as the Englishman's score of 244 not out became the highest score ever by a batsman carrying his bat in Test history - on Day 3 Thursday Dec 28,2017 in the 4th Test @ MCG

Alastair Cook broke New Zealand's Glenn Turner's (223 not) record set in 1972 against the West Indies in Kingston.

The last Englishman to carry his bat through a Test innings was Mike Atherton's 94 in New Zealand in 1997 while Geoff Boycott last carried his bat through an Ashes innings with an unbeaten 99 in Perth in 1979.
