Steely Cook vows to stay on as captain

Cook said after the game: "It gets harder and harder the more we don't win and it all heaps on me at the end of the day. Until I get that tap on the shoulder saying 'We don't want you to be captain' I'm desperate to turn things around for England.

"If I'm not good enough at the end of the summer, then so be it. I'm trying my heart out to do this but I need to score runs and we need to start winning. I'm here as long as they want me.

"I've got an inner steel, which I've got to keep drawing on. First of all I've got to keep scoring runs, a lot of things can change quickly from there. I hit the ball better here. I've got to back myself that a score will come.
