Good decision as this isn't a 'blip' and it saves face so he isn't dropped. Don't think Jennings is suitable either so I think we will see an ongoing switch of 1's and 2's.

Don't think Jennings is suitable either so I think we will see an ongoing switch of 1's and 2's.Out of nick for sure but he’s a player we won’t realise how good he was til next years Ashes when we have 2 new openers opening for the 8th Test in a row between the Sri Lanka series and now!
Guess it means Jennings will stay for a little longer!
Burns should now come in as next cab off the rank, but openers not a helluva lot knocking on the door in county cricket!
I think he could do a job but would depend on the partner. Don't think Jennings is up for itI’m going completely left field but I wouldn’t be against Woakes being given a run there for the winter if nobody else is up to it......
don't remember the cupboard ever being so bare for top 3 batsmen. Been basically grim since Strauss and Bell stepped down.Out of nick for sure but he’s a player we won’t realise how good he was til next years Ashes when we have 2 new openers opening for the 8th Test in a row between the Sri Lanka series and now!

give Burns ago. Shows how desperate we are when Jennings will basically secure a spot because there is no-one else.
Highlight of Cook's career and how good he was has to be 2010/11 Ashes. 200 odd not out to save 1st Test and then got around 750 runs in the series win over there
Cook has been well below par for some time now. I'd leave him out of the final test.
By his own admission, 'there is nothing left in the tank'.
If they feel they have to grant him a goodbye match, get in a new opener and drop him down to number three. However, that might be considered an insult.
He's still useful as a slip fielder.
Also to show how respected Cook is, some of the Cricket journalists found out last night he would be retiring and would be announced today and decided against reporting it to allow Cook to announce it himself.
Jonathan Agnew said he thought he might at 8 am this morning
Nah he has to be in the line up to get his farewell. Nothing game eitherCook has been well below par for some time now. I'd leave him out of the final test.

Maybe he’ll improve on his Test bowling average which is currently 7
Be nice if he fancied a move to a new county
Think unfortunately being a Essex suits him down to the ground!
Need at least another 50-60 to be anything like competitive I would have thought.Three ducks, the normally reliable Root, Bairstow, and Curran! At least Cook got a decent score.
It's going to be an uphill struggle from here ...
Didn’t think we would meet 250 so very happy with that!332, something to bowl at.....
