‘I felt sick, this isn’t right’

Graeme Swann, Stuart Broad and reporter Matthew Drake recall Pakistan's spot-fixing scandal of 2010.

We first hear from Drake, then the investigative reporter for the News of the World, the newspaper that exposed the plot involving three Pakistan cricketers - Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt - to bowl deliberate no-balls in the fourth Test against England at Lord's.

England's fast-bowler Broad remembers the moment he heard the news - and wondered whether the match would be cancelled.

We also hear from Swann, who explains to Stumped that 'he didn't care' about claiming his first five-wicket haul at Lord's due to his anger and shock at the revelations.
