Most Half Centuries in a Test Match

I have noticed there's only one Test match in which four batsmen reached 50 in both innings, was the fourth Test between Australia and West Indies in Adelaide in 1968-69, when Bill Lawry (62 and 89), Keith Stackpole (62 and 50), Ian Chappell (76 and 96) and Doug Walters (110 and 50) reached half-centuries in both innings for Australia. More interestingly that Test match featured 17 scores of 50 or over in all, which is still a Test record. There have been only four other matches in which a side has registered four or more half-centuries in each innings by South Africa against England in Durban in 1938-39, England v Australia at Headingly in 1948 (but they still lost!), Australia v England in Brisbane in 1962-63, and England v Sri Lanka at Lord's in 2011.
