The longest Test on record took place in Durban, South Africa, in 1939. The game, between England and South Africa started on 3 March and was scheduled to last for 10 days, allowing for some days that might be missed out for bad weather. Play continued on the 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 13th and the 14th (9 days of play in total, but 12 days in elapsed time). Rain prevented play on the 11th. On the evening of 14 March England were 316 and 654 for 5, while South Africa were 530 and 481. England only needed 42 more runs to win, but England's boat was also due to leave the next day. So although it was supposed to be a 'timeless' Test, a draw was agreed. The score of 654 for England is the highest score (by over 200 runs) ever recorded for a team batting last.
