Wiaan Mulder became the fifth-highest scorer in a Test innings and surpassed Hashim Amla's 311* to record the best score by a South African batsman.

Wiaan Mulder's record-breaking 367* against Zimbabwe was overshadowed by his decision to declare, denying himself a shot at Brian Lara's 400*. This sparked criticism, notably from Chris Gayle, who argued Mulder missed a golden opportunity.

After declaring on himself with 33 runs remaining to tie the highest individual Test score, Mulder said Lara deserves to keep the milestone.
