NOTTINGHAM England (Reuters) - Alastair Cook's torrid form continued as England made a shaky start to their innings on the second day of the opening test at Trent Bridge after India's stubborn tail frustrated the hosts on Thursday.

England's under-pressure captain was bowled off his thigh pad for five as his side closed on 43-1 in reply to India's 457, which included a 111 partnership between Bhuvneshwar Kumar and number 11 Mohammed Shami - a last-wicket record for India against England.
