Brian Lara's 375: The inside story of a world record-breaking innings
BBC Sport

Twenty years ago this week, West Indies batsman Brian Lara broke Sir Garfield Sobers's 36-year-old world record for the highest score in a Test innings.

The legendary left-hander surpassed his compatriot's 365 not out as he scored 375 against England at Antigua's Recreation Ground in a historic match played from 16-21 April 1994.

BBC Sport spoke to those who witnessed his world record innings close up: two of Lara's West Indies team-mates - Phil Simmons and Shivnarine Chanderpaul - and five England players who suffered in the field: Angus Fraser, Jack Russell, Phil Tufnell, Graham Thorpe and Alec Stewart.

Fraser: "I remember Darrell Hair, the umpire, telling somebody off for walking up and down the pitch. It was the groundsman."
