Liam Plunkett's last-ball six over long-off earned England a tie in the first ODI against Sri Lanka at Trent Bridge.
It was just the 33rd time an ODI has ended with the scores level with England having been involved in eight of those.
Here we look at the previous seven occasions in which England and their opponents could not be separated…
England v Australia - Trent Bridge, May 1989
England first tied game also came at Trent Bridge. Australia were their opponents and having won the toss, England captain David Gower elected to bat. Alan Lamb was the star, hitting an unbeaten century as they posted 226-5 from their 55 overs.
Steve Waugh top-scored for Australia with 43 in their reply but when he was run out, the tourists stumbled and were left needing two to win from the final ball. However, they could only scramble a single to tie the scores.
New Zealand v England - Napier, February 1997
It was a similar story as England took on New Zealand in Napier. Black Caps skipper Lee Germon chose to bat first but Craig White's 4-37 helped England bowl them out for 237 in the final over.
England's chase looked in jeopardy when Ronnie Irani was dismissed to leave them 127-5. A half-century from Graham Thorpe got them back on track but England needing two to win from the final ball could only manage a bye from the final ball.
South Africa v England - Bloemfontein, February 2005
It was another eight years before England were next involved in a tie and South Africa will still be wondering how they did not get over the line in Bloemfontein.
Kevin Pietersen's magnificent 108 not out helped England to 270 but the Proteas looked to be making light work of the chase and required just three to win from the final over. Kabir Ali bowled it, dismissed Mark Boucher first ball, saw Ashwell Prince run out and, with a single required from the last delivery, had Andrew Hall stumped.
England v Australia - Lord's, July 2005
Just a few months later and England were at it again, this time against Australia in the Natwest Series final. Three wickets apiece for Andrew Flintoff and Steve Harmison restricted the Aussies to 196 but when the former was removed by Glenn McGrath, England found themselves 33-5 in reply.
Paul Collingwood and Geraint Jones led the fightback but it all came down to the last over and when Darren Gough was run out, England needed three to win from the final ball. Ashley Giles was on strike against McGrath and survived an lbw appeal as he and Harmison scampered two to earn a share of the trophy.
New Zealand v England - Napier, February 2008
Back at McClean Park in Napier, England will have been confident of victory having racked up 340 from their 50 - Phil Mustard top-scoring with 83 from 74 balls.
The Kiwis had other ideas and a brilliant century from Jamie How (139) put them on the verge of victory. He was run out off the penultimate ball though and with two needed for victory, Daniel Vettori could only manage a single.
India v England - Bangalore, February 2011
India and England shared the spoils in an enthralling World Cup group game in Bangalore as Sachin Tendulkar (120) and Andrew Strauss (158) both made stunning centuries with Tim Bresnan also picking up five wickets.
England were set 339 to win and some big hitting from the lower order left them needing two from the final ball to win. Graeme Swann thumped the ball towards cover but could not penetrate the infield and had to settle for a single.
England v India - Lord's, September 2011
A little over six months later and the same two sides were again unable to find a winner.
Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni helped India recover from 110-4 to post 280 and after a well-made 96 from Ravi Bopara and some big shots from Bresnan and Swann, the game looked set for a thrilling finale - England needing 11 from seven balls with two wickets remaining. However, the rain came down and the match was deemed a tie on the Duckworth/Lewis method.
