903/7d (for England vs Australia, 1938)
Just before World War II, the England cricket team improved on the highest Test team total at the time, going past 900 runs for the first-time in the history of the longest format of the game. Leonard Hutton scored 364, Maurice Leyland and Joe Hardstaff also contributed with substantial hundreds, to propel English innings to historical proportions before they defeated Australia by an innings and 579 runs at The Oval in London.
