Tuffers asks Alastair Cook his 'Paxman question'

Phil Tufnell asks England cricket captain Alastair Cook the question that everyone wants to know the answer to: Who will be his opening batting partner for the UAE Test?

There has been lots of discussions around who is best to partner Cook after Adam Lyth's poor showing during the Ashes.

Alex Hales, Moeen Ali and Joe Root are some of the names who have been touted as Lyth's replacement.

"That is a really interesting decision that the selectors have got to make over the next ten days," said Cook.

"The selectors made some big calls in the summer and they were proved right. I don't know the answer to that question."
