Former England opener Raman Subba Row dies aged 92
Former England opener and ICC match referee Raman Subba Row has died at the age of 92.
England’s last-gasp win against Tunisia at the football World Cup was Britain’s most-watched television programme of 2018, attracting a peak audience of 18.3 million, according to the BBC today.
Monday evening’s game in Volgograd, which was decided by captain Harry Kane’s injury-time header, had a 69.2 per cent audience share at its peak, beating last month’s royal wedding.
Around three million requests were also made to stream it online, making it the highest ever live audience for an online BBC broadcast.
