5 fastest Test Innings of all time

#4 Dale Steyn

58 (28), 6x4, 5x6, S/R - 207.14 vs West Indies (Port Elizabeth - 2014)

Steyn on his way to 58

Perhaps the most unlikely name on the list, the most outstanding fast bowler of this generation set the records straight in a rain-curtailed Test vs West Indies. Having come in at 348/7, Dale Steyn started to fling his bat around in typically uncompromising style to bring up his 50 in 26 balls with 48 of those runs coming in boundaries.

The innings served as a precursor to the records that West Indies would fall prey to in the next few months: Fastest ODI hundred by Corey Anderson (36 balls), which was duly surpassed by AB De Villiers (31 balls) a few days later.
