It will go down as one of the most remarkable days in test cricket's 122-year history.
Saturday marked what is believed to be the first time all four innings of a test match have occurred - at some stage of their duration - on the one day.
The West Indies, playing England
in the second test at Lord's, resumed the day at 267 for nine in their first innings.
They were dismissed without adding to the total in the opening over. England were then rolled for only 134. But the West Indies collapsed sensationally in their second innings to be all out for a mere 54, their lowest against England in 123 tests, and their third-lowest of all time.
At one point they were in danger of the ignominy of a sub-50 total when they were 41 for nine. But Reon King and Courtney Walsh held out with a tenth-wicket partnership of 13.
England began their second innings, still on Saturday, and were none for no wicket in one over before stumps were drawn.
So, 21 wickets fell in the day for 188 runs, and four innings were included in play.
England went on to win by two wickets.
While the cricket was wrapped up quickly, across London at Wimbledon, tenth seed Mark Philippoussis helped rewrite tennis history, battling through a gruelling fifth set against Sjeng Schalken to win it 20-18 - the longest final set in a grand slam tournament since 1968.
His five-hour, one-minute match against the Dutchman beat the record held by compatriot Paul McNamee, who drew out his 1987 first-round match at Wimbledon against Todd Nelson to 19-17 in the fifth set.
