00:00I think in years to come he might look back on this as one of the best hundreds he's made in first class cricket.
00:13Alan made exactly a hundred before he was bowled by Harper and no other batsman was able to make a half century.
00:22And then Old Trafford where again he made an even hundred this time unbeaten and the next best score was Chris Broad's 42.
00:32That's a good looking shot.
00:34Well the pitch balled written very very firmly through Execover for four runs by Alan Lamb.
00:40And something finally for the English spectators to applaud.
00:52It's in the air but safe half fully and that's racing away for four. It's a fine start then for Alan Lamb.
00:58Just about to sneak over the ropes before Larry Gomes can move across there.
01:10Good shot. Beautifully placed. It's gone past the short leg, the short mid wicket, the ordinary mid wicket and the wide mid on.
01:22Quite safe. It was a good shot in fact.
01:32It's quite often employed against the bowlers who pitch short outside the off stump.
01:38Oh, that's a good shot.
01:46Quite immaterial that it was played off a no ball.
01:49As he was in position for it and pulled it away beautifully.
01:57That's gone through for four.
02:01Good on drive fully through the batter that one.
02:13Well then will he go for one, will he go for two, will he try for three or?
02:18He's got to be four.
02:22And that'll be very nice. Thank you for Alan Lamb. Takes him now on 298.
02:29Touch of good fortune.
02:40He's got it away. Got to take two and will do so.
02:47Hundred to Alan Lamb. He's the first man in the history of test match cricket to score three centuries against the West Indies in a series in this country.
03:00Paul Terry came out with his broken arm in a sling to enable Lamb to reach that century.
03:05And Lamb went on to make another hundred against Sri Lanka at Lords.
