Lot Essay

England won this epic match by 103 runs, Botham making 118 in England’s second innings, Yallop and Border responding with centuries for Australia. Despite his more slender run contribution of 10 and 37, it was the match in which GB became the first England player to surpass Colin Cowdrey’s record of 7,624 Test runs.
