Untidy Cook misses out on 10,000 mark again

DURHAM, England, May 27 (Reuters) An untidy shot prevented captain Alastair Cook from grabbing a place in cricketing history on Friday when he was caught at slip for 15 as England reached 83-2 at lunch on the first day of the second test against Sri Lanka.
Cook needed 20 runs to become the youngest player -- and the first Englishman - to reach 10,000 runs in tests at the age of 31 years, five months and two days but the opener jabbed at a wide delivery from Suranga Lakmal outside the off stump and was caught by Dimuth Karunaratne diving low with England at 39-1.
Cook would have beaten Indian Sachin Tendulkar's record of 31 years, 10 months and 20 days, which has stood since 2005. Only 11 batsmen have achieved the feat.
