England captain Alastair Cook has admitted that he is humbled to have become their all-time leading Test run-scorer.
The 30-year-old surpassed Graham Gooch's record in the second Test against New Zealand as he scored 75 on day two at Headingley.
He told Sky Sports News: "It is a very special day for me personally. I can't really describe it, to be on top of the list. I don't deserve to be there with the way I play.
"You don't play for the records, but I know I needed 32 runs but to break the record, you want to do it with an innings [that matters]. It was an amazing moment, very humbling.
"The last 18 months have been tough personally as a captain. A lot of stuff has gone on the last four or five months, but I have given time to my game and I feel like it is going well."
Cook made his England debut against India in 2006.
