2009: England v Netherland­s, Lord’s

The second edition of the tournament got off to a sensationa­l start with the Netherland­s scoring a last-ball victory — by four wickets — over the host on cricket’s most hallowed ground. The last over began with the Netherland­s needing seven with four wickets intact. Stuart Broad gave just five runs off the first five balls, but off the final ball, his overthrow allowed Edgar Schiferli to complete the most important couple of runs of his life. The knocks from Tom de Grooth (49, 30b) and Peter Borren (30, 25b) had earlier put the Dutchmen firmly on track to the famous win.
