India, England tie World Cup thrillerIt was not a game for the faint-hearted and those Indian fans who left the stadium early thinking their team was doomed three-quarters of the way through will surely kick themselves forever after missing a truly classic finale.
First India, then England looked to have a complete stranglehold on this Group B encounter in a power struggle which showed off to its very best the supposedly dull and outdated 50-over version of the game.
Yet this was a match with just as much high-octane excitement as anything served up by cricket's brash Twenty20 format.
In the end, England's tail-ender Graeme Swann was left with the task of hitting at least two runs off the final delivery of paceman Munaf Patel after some seven hours and 99.5 overs of exhaustingly absorbing cricket.
