Antigua Recreation Ground, St John's In 1994, it was 25-year-old Lara who etched his name in the record books by breaking Sir Garfield Sobers' long-standing record. Having already taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series, West Indies went into the fifth Test against England brimming with confidence.

South Africa's stand-in captain Wiaan Mulder scored the fifth highest test score of 367 not out against Zimbabwe on Monday but then declared his side's innings despite being only 34 runs away from the record for the most runs in a test innings.

South Africa’s Wiaan Mulder passed up the chance to set an individual record score in men’s test cricket by declaring 33 runs short of Brian Lara’s 400 set in 2004.
