One of the best cricketing nations in the world, India has gone through many ups and downs in the sport. The NatWest series final of 2002 remains to be one of the biggest victories in Indian cricket history and former England cricketer Nick Knight opened up about the match and recalled how an "extraordinary partnership" won the final for the visitors at the Lord's. Opting to bat after winning the toss, England posted 325 for five with captain Nasser Hussain and Marcus Trescothick registering stylish centuries. "The game back then was not played the same way it is done now. So 325...I can tell you that when we were back in the dressing room and having some of the best foods we were pretty happy with ourselves. I knew we were playing against a good side with extremely good players but in those days if you got 325, you are the strong, strong favourites", said Knight, speaking on Cricket.com.

Kyle Mayers was the unlikely destroyer of England's second innings with a first-ever five-wicket haul to put the West Indies on the verge of a series-clinching victory on the third day of the third and final Test on Saturday. After Joshua da Silva's maiden Test century extended the home side's first innings to 297 through the entire morning session for a lead of 93 runs, Mayers produced the astonishing figures of five for nine off 13 overs as England tumbled to 103 for eight by the close of play. It leaves the tourists in a hopeless position of only 10 runs ahead with just two wickets in hand and two days to play.
Batting coach Marcus Trescothick pleaded for England’s Caribbean tour not to be written off as a failure after “one bad day” left them staring at a demoralising series defeat in Grenada.
