John Rawling relives the drama of the Second Test between England and West Indies at Lord's in 1963.

It was an incident-packed match

Ferocious fast bowling, brave innings and a batsman with a broken arm.

At four minutes to six on the final day, with just eight balls left, any result was still possible.

Producer: Tony Shearman

First broadcast on BBC Radio 5 Live in October 1999.
