England win the 4th Test vs West Indies 1968 (Trinidad)

Gary Sobers gambled by declaring twice in pursuit of a win to leave England needing 215 to win in 165 minutes.

Geoff Boycott ensured that England got there with just three minutes to spare. This miscalculation by Sobers ended up costing West Indies the series as England drew the last Test to win 1-0.
