Alastair Cook baffles fans with bizarre impression while bowling for Essex vs Kent

Former England captain Sir Alastair Cook had fans in stitches after bowling an over during Essex's County Championship clash with Kent.

Cook had earlier scored a brilliant hundred as Essex piled on 514 in their first innings, with fellow opener Nick Browne and debutant Matt Critchley also scoring tons. In response, Kent managed to earn a first innings lead as they scored 581, with Ben Compton and Jordan Cox both reaching three figures.

And with the game heading for a draw, Essex captain Tom Westley handed the ball to Cook for an over. The legendary opener is hardly noted for his bowling, having taken just seven wickets across a professional career which has spanned almost twenty years.
