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.

New Zealand became the fourth Test-playing nation when they played their first Test match against England in Christchurch in 1930.

England has historically lost the most Test matches, having played the highest number of Tests in cricket history (over 1000 matches). Due to their long cricketing history dating back to 1877, England has accumulated more losses than any other nation despite also having numerous victories. Australia, West Indies, and India have fewer losses overall, partly because they have played fewer Tests in total compared to England's extensive Test match history.

West Indies holds the record for the highest number of consecutive draws in Test cricket, with 11 consecutive drawn matches during their tour of India in 1958-59. This remarkable streak occurred during a period when West Indies was touring India, and several matches ended without a result due to defensive playing conditions and difficult pitches. India, Pakistan, and New Zealand do not hold this particular record in Test cricket history.
