Tests - Alastair Cook 127 against Pakistan, 2006
Pakistan's decision to bat first backfired massively as the England bowlers knocked them out for 119. In reply, England posted an impressive first innings total of 461 for 9 declared on the back of hundreds from Alastair Cook and Ian Bell.
Cook carried on from where he had left off in India a few months back, posting yet another hundred after his debut ton in Nagpur and little did the world know then what a great batsman they were witnessing out in the middle.
