Malelane, South Africa (SportsNetwork.com) - Branden Grace followed up his 10-under 62 on Thursday with a 6-under 66 in Fridays second round and he extended his lead to five shots heading into the weekend at the Alfred Dunhill Championship. Grace, a four-time winner on the European Tour, finished 36 holes at 16-under- par 128, five strokes better than Francesco Molinari. All four of Graces wins on tour came in 2012. Molinari surged up the leaderboard with a 7-under 65, which was the low round of the day at Leopard Creek Country Club. That was good enough to put Molinari in sole possession of second place at 11-under 133. Tjaart van der Walt went low as well with a 5-under 67 and he is alone in third at minus-10. Danny Willett, winner of last weeks Nedbank Golf Challenge, shot a 69 Friday and he is tied for fourth at 9-under 135 with Shaun Norris and Lucas Bjerregaard, both of whom carded 67s. Defending champion Charl Schwartzel, trying to win this event for the third straight year and for the fourth time in his career, fired a 2-under 70 and he is tied for 23rd at 5-under 139.

I dont think there is too much difference from the Alastair Cook with zero Test runs to the one closing in on 10,000.His technique hasnt changed much, while on and off the field he is the same lad - there is no massive ego, hes just the quiet Essex boy who goes about his business. But, for my mind, he is the most mentally strong cricketer England have ever produced.His great mentor, Graham Gooch, was very good in that regard, as were Graham Thorpe, a man who loved heading out of the dressing room with the pressure on, and Michael Atherton - but Cook probably pips it.He has had tough times in career but always responded, including against Pakistan in 2010 when he was almost in a last-chance-saloon situation ahead of The Ashes and scored a hundred.He always challenges himself, never takes the easy road, and is determined to prove people wrong, which is one of his greatest strengths. Cook scored a century on his Test debut in Nagpur in 2006 I have to say that when I first saw him he was this tall, gangly lad with a stiff leg and a heavy head who tended to fall over!It was Keith Fletcher who turned to me and said: Watch out for this boy, hes going to be an exceptional talent, and when I saw him again on his first Test appearance in Nagpur I realised what Fletcher was going on about.To fly out to India that week and get a hundred on debut showed what a good player of spin he was and how strong he was in the mind - I knew then just how special a talent England had and would have for years to come.Nowhere was that more evident than in Australia during the 2010-11 Ashes. Cook dominated Australia in the 2010-11 Ashes, scoring 766 runs at 127.66 Cook went out there under a bit of pressure having only scored one hundred, plus a 95, against Australia in 19 Test innings, but, boy, did he deliver - Brisbane, Adelaide, wherever he went, he smashed it.I doubt he will ever play as well as that.Alastair is one of the best players of a ball above waist high that I have seen in the game - he is exceptionall at cutting, pulling and clipping off his hip.ddddddddddddPlus, his stubbornness means he is fully prepared take six hours to get a hundred, rather than the three that it might take someone like Ben Stokes. Is Cook Englands greatest Test batsman? Thats all subjective. What he is, though, is the best he could ever possibly be and thats what will give him the most pride. Nasser Hussain Is he Englands greatest Test batsman? Thats all subjective - youve got Joe Root now and youve had Gooch, Kevin Pietersen and Geoffrey Boycott in the past.What Cook is, though, is the best he could ever possibly be and thats what will give him the most pride - not being better than anyone else but being the best Alastair Cook.He is a phenomenal player who has worked incredibly hard and hell be around and breaking records for a long time yet.See if Cook reaches 10,000 Test runs when England play Sri Lanka in the first Test at Headingley, from 10am, Thursday, Sky Sports 2.
