Lowest Test totals of the 21st Century

#3 West Indies 47 all-out vs England, 2004

Stephen Harmison rocked the Windies at Kingston

The first Test of the 4-match series between West Indies and England was turning out to be a closely contested game. England had been bowled out in the final session of Day 3 for 339, with a lead of just 28. The Windies had all the reasons to be upbeat for, at one stage, it had looked England would get more.

But, the giant figure of Steve Harmison loomed over them. The openers managed to see the first half an hour of the new ball off, before old Stevie struck, prising out Gayle. 13/1. In his next over he had Sarwan, and in the next Chanderpaul. 15/3.

The bulk of the Windies batting backbone was gone. Only Lara remained. And Hoggard knocked him over in the next over. 16/4. Hoggard soon got Dwayne Smith too, and it was only in the 19th over that the first bowling change was brought in.

Simon Jones replaced Hoggard, but Steve Harmison chugged on like a tireless workhorse. He ended the resistance offered by Ridley Jacobs in his 11th over and two balls later sent back Tino Best. 41/7. Jones got the better of Hinds, and Harmison cleaned up the tail to bowl the West Indies out for 47, setting England 20 to win in what had once been a closely contested Test Match.

Steve Harmison had bowled 12 and a half overs on the trot and his figures read 12.3-8-12-7.
