2002: India beat England in a dramatic NatWest Series Final

A target of 326 to win a 50-over One-Day International is nothing extraordinary today. But in 2002 such a run-chase seemed beyond all but the most inspired of batting line-ups. Only twice before had a team made over 300 in an ODI at Lord’s, and one of those had been in a 60-...
