by Wisden Staff 7 minute play

One of the toughest asks in Test cricket is to put on a good total in the first innings after the opposition puts you in to bat after winning the toss, a strong indication that the pitch is conducive to bowling.

In this quiz, you need to name the players who have made the highest Test scores in the first innings after his team were put in  to bat at the toss. There are 35 players who have made scores of 200 or more with two of them making triple centuries. The first of those broke the record at the time for the highest ever score in Test cricket.

We have given the details of the match along with the score made by the player as hints.
