[1] One Day Internationals (ODIs) have also been played at the ground, the first of these was in 1973 between England and the West Indies.
In 1938 Len Hutton, another Englishman, broke the record for the highest individual Test innings.
Hutton's innings was the only Test triple century scored at the Oval until Hashim Amla's treble in July 2012, and is still the highest by an Englishman at any ground.
The most centuries scored by an overseas player at the ground is three, which was achieved by the South African Bruce Mitchell and Australian Steve Smith.
