Bradmans Invincibles of 1948
 
First ever Indian Test in England
 
A lot of test matches in the pre-war period was played to a finish. The last ever timeless Test was the 5th Test between England and South Africa. This test was abandoned as a draw after 10 days of play spread over 11 days because otherwise the England team would have missed the boat for home which was due to leave. With World War II impending, the team did not want to risk missing trip. South Africa had set a target of 696 for England to win. By the time England had to leave, they reached 654 for 5 and was well on their way to a win. Durban, 5th Test, Mar 1939.
