Explanation

The first run in Test cricket history was indeed scored off the bowling of Alfred Shaw in the first-ever Test match between England and Australia at Melbourne in 1877. Shaw bowled the first ball, and a run was scored off his bowling, though the specific batsman who scored it is not definitively recorded.
