Alastair Cook out for three on cricket return

England Test captain Alastair Cook falls lbw to Ryan Sidebottom for three runs on his return to first-class cricket.

England Test captain Alastair Cook scored just three runs on his return to first-class cricket for the MCC against Yorkshire.

Cook is preparing for England's upcoming tour to the West Indies next month after he was dropped from the one-day side before the Cricket World Cup.

The 30-year-old was trapped lbw by former England bowler Ryan Sidebottom in Abu Dhabi, where the MCC are playing against defending county champions Yorkshire.

England's tour of the Caribbean begins on April 6.
