Test cricket is the longest and oldest type of international cricket.
The first officially recognized Test match took place on 15–19 March 1877 and was played between England and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where Australia won by 45 runs.
The early test matches were played by England against other sides in the British Empire.
First test matches took place in these years:
1889 versus South Africa
1928 versus West Indies
1930 versus New Zealand
1932 versus India
Test matches eventually spread to other countries around the world.
Later came One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 internationals (T20s).
Test matches are a series of 5-day matches.
Each team's two innings' scores are added to find the total runs.
The team with more runs wins the match if the other team has completed both of their innings, with there being a tie if they have an equal number of runs; otherwise it is a draw.
Follow-on is a rule by which the team batting in second innings can be enforced to bat again just after the end of their first innings.
The follow-on can be enforced by the team batted in the first innings only if their first-innings lead is at least 200 runs.
When the test match length is 3 or 4 days, the minimum lead required to enforce follow-on is 150 runs.
If the test match length is 2 days, the minimum lead required to enforce follow-on is 100 runs.
When the test match is of a single day (extremely rare), the minimum lead reduces to 75 runs.

Zhong Zhong ( pinyin:Zhōng Zhōng, born 27 November 2017) and Hua Hua ( pinyin:Huá Huá, born 5 December 2017) are identical macaques that were made through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), the same cloning technique that made Dolly the sheep in 1996.
Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua are the first cloned primates made this way.
When other scientists tried to clone monkeys before this, they used donated embryonic stem cells, but Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua came from donated nuclei from fetal cells, which is harder to do.
The two baby monkeys were both born at the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai.
Scientists made the first cloned mammal, Dolly the sheep, in 1996 using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).
Since then, scientists have cloned 23 different kinds of mammals, including cows, cats, dogs, horses, and rats.
But primates have been very hard to clone.
Reprogramming nuclei that have been moved from one cell to another is very difficult.
A monkey named Tetra (born October 1999), a female rhesus macaque, was made by a team led by Gerald Schatten of the Oregon National Primate Research Center using a different technique, called "embryo splitting," which is a way of making an artificial twin.
Embryo splitting is not as hard as somatic cell nuclear transfer, and it can only be done from an embryo.
So some people say Tetra is the first cloned primate and other people say Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua are.
In January 2019, scientists in China said they had made five identical cloned gene-edited monkeys using somatic cell nuclear transfer, like with Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua.
They also used a gene-editing Crispr-Cas9 technique that He Jiankui said was used to create the first gene-modified human babies Lulu and Nana.
These monkey clones were made to study several medical diseases.
Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua were made by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai.
Team leaders were Qiang Sun and Muming Poo.
They took nuclei from fiber cells of a fetal crab-eating macaque monkey or Macaca fascicularis).
A fetus is an animal that has grown bigger than an embryo but has not been born or hatched yet.
They removed the nuclei from egg cells (ova) and then put the nuclei from the fetal cells into these ova.
The team used two enzymes to change the epigenetic memory of the donated nuclei so they would act like embryonic nuclei.
They then put 21 of these ova with donated nuclei into surrogate mother monkeys.
There were six pregnancies, and finally two living animals.
These monkeys were named Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, after Zhonghua (, a Chinese name for China).
Although this was still not many baby monkeys born, scientists think methods could become better in the future.
The Scotland-based team that created Dolly the sheep in 1996 needed to try 277 times and produced only one baby sheep.
The older the donated nucleus is, the harder it is to make a clone.
Fetal cells are harder to clone than embryonic cells, and adult cells are harder than fetal cells.
The same team of scientists also tried to clone macaques using nuclei from adult monkeys, but it did not work.
They implanted 42 mother monkeys, and 22 of them became pregnant, but there were only two infant macaques, and they died soon after birth.
Muming Poo said the birth of Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua does show people could make human clones, but Poo does not plan to do so.
Poo also says it is important because it shows somatic cell nuclear transfer could be used to make monkeys that are genetically exactly the same, for experiments.
Doctors that study the human heart already use crab-eating macaques as a model organism when they study problems with the blood vessels around the heart.
Poo said monkeys like Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua could be used to learn more about neuroscience, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease when he talked on the radio news program All Things Considered in January 2018.
Academics who study right and wrong in science, like Insoo Hyun of Case Western Reserve University, asked if people would make human clones anyway.
Poo told All Things Considered, "Technically speaking one can clone human[s] ... But we're not going to do it.
There's absolutely no plan to do anything on humans."

Kaduna State is one of the major states in the central northern region of Nigeria.
Its capital is the city of Kaduna.
It is one of the 36 states located in the northern area of Nigeria, and is the ninth largest state in the country.
Hausa is Kaduna State's most widely spoken language, while English is its official language.
Other local languages are also spoken, such as Yoruba, Igbo, Fula and English Creole among others.
Some of these local languages are also used in written form.
The total population of the state was projected to be 8,252,400 as of March 21, 2016.
The word "Kaduna" is thought to be derived from a Gbagyi word for river.
Another proposed origin links the name to the Hausa word for crocodile, but this is challenged by the Gbagyi people who are known to have lived in the area for centuries.
What is now known as "Kaduna State" is mostly made up of land said to have been inhabited by people of the "Nok" culture.
The name "Nok" is derived from the village of Nok in Kaduna, where some of the first major artifacts from the Nok culture were found.
The British colonial capital moved from Jebba to Zungeru in 1902, and then to Kaduna in 1916.
It is thought  that the name Kaduna was taken up by Lord Frederick Lugard and his colleagues during the move to Kaduna.
Kaduna State is located at the center of northern Nigeria.
It has political significance as the former administrative headquarters of northern Nigeria during the British colonial era.
The state shares boundaries with Niger State to the west, Zamfara, Katsina and Kano States to the north, Bauchi and Plateau States to the east and FCT Abuja and the Nassarawa States to the south.
Kaduna State has a land area of 46,053 square kilometers.
One major city under the governance of Kaduna is the ancient City of Zaria.
Queen Amina once ruled Zaria and was known as a great warrior.
Her land stretched as far as Bauchi in the east and as far south as the river Niger.
She built a walled town wherever she conquered.
British colonization
At the start of British colonial rule in northern Nigeria, the natives who lived in the area were referred to as the 'Northern Nigerians' - a term which is still used today.
On May 27, 1967, the area was broken up into six separate states, one of which was the North-Central State.
This name was changed to Kaduna State in 1976.
It was then further divided in 1987, losing the area now part of Katsina State.
In 1975, the 'Kaduna' State was formally created by the then military leader, General Murtala Mohammed.
General Mohammed decided to collect these six different states into one state, and did so without a referendum.
This new state is the successor of what was called the 'Northern Region of Nigeria'.
The main ethnic groups are Hausa and Fulani, whose people are mostly Muslim.
There are about 30 ethnic groups in the south, the largest being Gbari (Gwari).
The majority of the people in the south are Christians.
The major Muslim festivals are the "Salah", celebrations of "Id EI Fitri" and "Id EI Kabir".
Christmas, New Year's Day and Easter are observed by the Christian population.
Immigrants arrive into the cities as "Fadama" farmers and market gardening workers ("yan lambu" in Hausa).
The children are usually students in Qur'anic schools or dry season immigrant workers ("yan cin rani" in Hausa) and live mostly in Zaria.
The Kaduna River, a tributary of the Niger River, flows roughly east to west through the center of the state.
The state’s natural plant life is mostly Sudanian Savanna.
This plant life is mostly made up of short trees, shrubs and several types of grass.
The soil in Kaduna consists mostly of loam.
Clay can also be found in this area.
Native minerals include serpentine, asbestos, amethyst, kyanite, and gold.
Graphite and sillimanite graphite can also be found here.
This is an important raw material used in the manufacture of pencils, crucibles, electrodes, generator brushes and other parts.
Agriculture is the largest part of the economy, with about 80% of the people working in farming.
The main crops are yams, cotton, groundnuts (peanuts), tobacco, maize, beans, guinea corn, millet, ginger, rice, and cassava.
Over 180,000 tons of groundnuts (peanuts) are produced in the state every year.
The main cash crop is cotton.
Livestock can include cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs.
Kaduna State is an industrial center of northern Nigeria.
Manufactured goods include carpets, textiles, machinery, steel, aluminum, petroleum products, bearings, reinforced concrete materials, bicycle assembly, toiletries, and cigarettes.
Goods that are produced for the population to use range from dairy products to soft drinks, flour and groundnut (peanut) oil.
The textile industry is not doing well because of foreign competition.
The Ford Country Squire was a station wagon from Ford Motor Company.
It was first made in 1950.

Otče naš, ktory jesi v nebesah,
nehaj sveti se ime Tvoje.
Nehaj prijde kraljevstvo Tvoje,
nehaj bude volja Tvoja, kako v nebu tako i na zemji.
Hlěb naš vsakodenny daj nam dnes,
i odpusti nam naše grěhy,
tako kako my odpuščajemo našim grěšnikam.
I ne vvedi nas v pokušenje,
ale izbavi nas od zlogo.

Since the version 2.3 (Gingerbread) of Google's Android operating system an easter egg containing an animation has been hidden.
The easter egg can be accessed through the "Settings" application, in the "About phone" section, by repeatedly tapping the "Android version" section.
The animation is different in every version of the OS.
In 2.3 – 2.3.7 (Gingerbread) there is a painting of an Android next to a zombie gingerbread man, surrounded by zombies using cellphones.
In 3.0 – 3.2.6 (Honeycomb) there is a blue honeybee.
Below it, there is the text "REZZZZZZZ…" as a reference to Tron: Legacy.
In 4.0 – 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) there is pixel art of an ice cream sandwich android.
Long-pressing it will result in many ice cream sandwich androids flying across the screen, dubbed the "nyan droid" as they are a tribute to Nyan Cat.
In 4.1 – 4.3.1 (Jelly Bean) a red jelly bean appears, which if pressed will show its face along with the OS version.
If this jelly bean is then long-pressed, an interactive jelly bean minigame will appear.
This is where one can fling the jelly beans around.
In 4.4 (KitKat) a rotating letter "K" appears, which if continually tapped turns into the text "Android" in the styling of a KitKat logo.
If the Android logo is then long-pressed a tile interface, known as "a daydream" called "Dessert Case", loads with icons from all previous versions of Android.
It appears to be a mock of the Windows Phone interface.
In 5.x (Lollipop) and 6.x (Marshmallow), a colored circle appears (or a circle with a stylized M inside in Marshmallow).
If continuously tapped, it will turn into a lollipop with the text lollipop inside (or the M changes into a marshmallow in 6.x).
Tapping the circle changes the color.
When long-pressed, a game of Flappy Bird starts with the Android mascot instead.
In Marshmallow, tapping the plus sign adds extra players (up to five), which can be controlled by the user or other players.
In 7.0 (Nougat), an "N" appears, which will enable another Easter egg if tapped.
This Easter egg, titled "Android Neko" as a reference to the cat collecting mobile game Neko Atsume, can be accessed from the Quick Settings menu, and allows the user to create virtual treats, which will eventually attract kittens.
The kittens can be viewed in a gallery-style screen.
Additionally, long-pressing on the aforementioned "N" repeatedly will alternate between displaying the no symbol emoji and the cat face emoji, respectively toggling the Easter egg on and off. "
No" and "cat" is a mondegreen for "nougat".
In 8.0 (Oreo), instead of the normal way of going to the easter egg, heading to System > About Phone and tapping on the Android version repeatedly will launch the easter egg.
An orange circle appears, representing an "O" for Oreo.
Tapping on it a few times will open a blue screen representing a sea with an octopus floating around.
The "O" in octopus represents Oreo while the eight legs on the octopus represent the version (8.0).
The octopus can be moved by dragging the head around.
In 9.0 (Pie), the Easter egg is found by going to System > About Phone > Android version and then tapping three times on the Android version on the next screen.
A white, extended "P" will then appear, usually with concentric colored circles disappearing into the "P".
Each time the Easter egg is invoked, it displays different colors.
The animation can be pinched to zoom.
In 10.0 (10), the text "android 10" will appear, where each of the texts "android", "1", and "0" can be moved and rotated.
Rotating "1" and merging with the digit "0" will result in the "android Q" text.
In this state, tapping the "Q" several times will reveal a Nonogram game, where the resulting pictures are various icons of Android.
