Catch the list of top ten highest successful run-chase in test cricket history below.
Team India bottled an epic Test match at Headingley, Leeds, to kickstart the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. In what was the red-ball captaincy debut for Shubman Gill, the visitors gave away too many openings to England, who chased down a mammoth 371-run target on Day 5. Ben Duckett, the hero with 149 runs, helped England register their second-highest run-chase and also the tenth-highest overall in the history of Test match cricket.
