Alastair Cook has passed Graham Gooch to become England's leading Test run scorer.

The 30-year-old reached 32 on the second day of the second Test against New Zealand at Headingley to overtake Gooch's mark of 8,900, which has stood since 1995.

England captain Cook is playing his 114th Test, having made his debut in 2006.

The left-hander stands 13th on the all-time list of Test run scorers.

Only one current Test player - Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara - is ahead of Cook on a chart led by India great Sachin Tendulkar with 15,921 runs.
