I reckon its England's 432 against Australia in 2001 at The Oval,

They later lost by an innings and 25 runs

Australia scored 4/641 dec in their first innings.

Azkatro · Feb 4, 2004

Crud... I went through the whole list of highest test innings' but decided I'd seen enough when I found the 405 I figured eh that'll do. Should have kept looking at least through to the 605 mark... *groan*

Correct. Other than Azkatro's 405, the only other 400+ was England scoring 417 last year to lose to RSA.
