    With Alastair Cook starting the season in fine form with the bat for Essex it's got us thinking at BBC Sport towers.

    Is Cook England's greatest ever batsman? The stats certainly suggest he is, but we'd like to know what you think.

    "A big score is surely on the cards for him."

    Northants 343-2 v Sussex

    BBC Radio Northampton’s Alex Winter at Wantage Road:

    “What a talent Ben Duckett is. He said last night he was hungry for more runs after his first-day century and it’s taken him 10 overs of the morning session to take his overnight 178 through to a double century.

    "He becomes the first double centurion for Northamptonshire since David Sales on this ground in 2013.

    "And he’s now gone past the highest score by a Northants batsman against Sussex, beating the 204 made by Rob Bailey in 1990, also here at Wantage Road."
