Highest unbroken partnership in a Test & The highest Partnership to be broken by a run-out.

The highest unbroken partnership in a Test match was between 429runs Jacques Rudolph 222* on his Test debut and Boeta Dippenaar 177* for South Africa's third wicket against Bangladesh in Chittagong in April 2003, also ninth-highest Test partnership of all time. 6th on that list is a 2nd wicket stand of 446 between Sir Garry Sobers and Conrad Hunte for West Indies against Pakistan in Kingston in 1957-58, which ended when Conard Hunte was run out. The Pakistani fielders were looking a so lethargic after such a long stand, and Conard Hunte thought there was an easy single when he pushed a ball to mid-on but the fielder there was Ijaz Butt who had not long before come on as a substitute and was relatively fresh.
