5 highest 4th innings totals that didn't result in a Test win 

#2 Pakistan vs Australia, Brisbane 2017

Pink ball, floodlights, pacy pitch and the excitement of Test cricket, it all combined to produce an epic in Brisbane when Australia took on Pakistan.

Steve Smith and Peter Handscomb scored centuries as the hosts piled up 429 runs in their first innings.

Disaster then ensued as Pakistan were shot out for 142.

Australia did not impose the follow-on and decided to rub in more misery and when they declared their innings at 202/5, Pakistan were set a target of 490 runs.

At 220 for six, even the optimistic of fans would have walked away in disgust, but there was Asad Shafiq unmoved and determined to not throw in the towel.

The right-hander decided to play his strokes and take the attack to the opposition and in Wahab Riaz and Mohammed Amir he found two allies who were willing to stick with him.

However, the lone ranger could not script a heist as he was dismissed for an epic 137 and Pakistan folded for 450.
