"An mounting tension for Brian Lara. A beautiful cover drive. That will go for four. Three hundred and sixty-five. He has equalled Gary Sobers. Atherton is piling on the pressure. Making him wait. Nothing comes easy in this game of cricket nor should it. He is not going to give him this run. Sobers waits on the boundary edge. His nerves jangling as well. The field is set.
