England's most prolific run-scorer — Graham Gooch's 8,900 Test runs include a single-innings score of 333 against India in 1990.

Graham Gooch is England's all-time leading Test run-scorer with 8,900 runs across 118 Tests. His 333 against India at Lord's in 1990 — part of a match total of 456 runs — was the greatest individual performance by an England batsman in modern times. He was banned for three years after joining a rebel tour of South Africa but returned to captain England with distinction.

His combined match aggregate of 456 runs (333 + 123) against India at Lord's in 1990 is the highest individual contribution in a single Test match in history.
