Cook is playing well today in its farewell test match.

Because this is a Flat Track no lateral movement expecting same flow of runs scoring from Dhawan in this match

Looks like this Test will be drawn looking how flat the wicket it or unless Moeen Ali with Ball produces another Match Winning Spell
