Emotional Cook describes farewell Test century as surreal (Oval)

Alastair Cook hit 147 in his farewell innings and said his retirement from international cricket has been an "18-month process" after he ended his Test batting career with a century against India in the fifth Test.

Cook was given a standing ovation on his way out to the middle of the Oval and was applauded by a near-capacity crowd on almost all runs in his century.

Cook has scored more runs and made more centuries for England than any other Test player, announced this would be the last of his 161 Tests before the match.
