Former England all-rounder Chris Lewis was released from prison on Tuesday, saying "wrong choices" led to his jail sentence for cocaine smuggling.

Lewis, capped 32 times at Test level, was convicted in 2009 and served less than half of a 13-year sentence.

He said money concerns in 2008 had led to him attempting to smuggle £140,000 worth of dissolved cocaine into the UK. "I became afraid of what the future held, and at that point the thinking went awry," said the 47-year-old.

In an interview with the Professional Cricket Association he said: "I made choices. They were the wrong choices and I say sorry for them."

Tampa Bay Lightning scored twice in the third period to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in game three of the Stanley Cup final.

The first two encounters in the best-of-seven series were drawn and Blackhawks looked like they would seize the advantage when Brandon Saad put them 2-1 up early in the final period.

But, that lead was wiped out almost immediately when Ondrej Palat equalized 13 seconds later. And, with a little over three minutes left, the Chicago crowd were stunned into silence again when Cedric Paquette tipped in a pass from Victor Hedman for the winner.

But he added: "We need a really big marquee signing."
