Australia won the first-ever Test match against England by 45 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March 1877. This victory came in a match that spanned four days from March 15-19, with Australia scoring 245 and 104 runs in their two innings, while England scored 196 and 108 runs respectively. This win established Australia as a competitive cricketing nation right from the inception of Test cricket. South Africa, West Indies, and England were not the winners of this inaugural match.
