Cox brings the Fire though Hundred proves elusive for England's new No.3

Jordan Cox continued to make an impression for England despite falling short of a maiden Test century at Headingley. England's new No.3 played an important role in building a strong position, showing confidence and composure in the middle order. Cox also shared a valuable partnership with his Welsh Fire team-mate Joe Root, helping England maintain control and put pressure on the opposition. Although a century proved elusive, Cox's contribution underlined his growing importance to England's batting line-up. With England in a strong position at Headingley, Cox will be encouraged by his performance as he continues to establish himself in his new role at No.3.
