LEEDS, England (AP) " Alastair Cook recognizes that becoming the first Englishman to reach 10,000 test runs would be a "big milestone." "It's a big milestone in terms of the people who have done it previously so it would be great to try and score these 36 runs," Cook said. Indian great Sachin Tendulkar tops the list with 15,921 test runs in 200 tests. Cook, who has scored 9,964 runs in 126 tests, needs another 36 runs and could reach the landmark in his opening innings of the three-test series. Cook is also set to become the youngest to 10,000, beating Tendulkar, who was 31 years and 10 months old.
