Most runs scored in a single over in Tests

#1 Brian Lara - 28 runs vs Robin Peterson at Johannesburg, 2003

Brian Lara took Robin Peterson to the cleaners

Before pulverizing Kaneria in 2006, Brian Lara launched a similar assault on Robin Peterson in 2003 at Johannesburg.

In the first Test, Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis took South Africa to 561 but Lara then took the responsibility on his shoulders to get his side close to the total.

The left-hander came to bat at number four and stroked his way to 150 before Robin Peterson took the ball for the last over of the third day.

On the first ball, Lara moved back in his crease and played a scintillating cut through point for four. On the second and the third ball, the left-hander danced down the track and launched Peterson over long-on for two sixes.

Peterson continued to flight the ball and Lara made full use. On the fourth and the fifth ball, he smashed two fours over the bowler's head before finishing the over with another four, going back and cutting the ball away from the short-third man fielder.

Four fours and two sixes stamped Lara's greatness and the West Indian legend finished the day by scoring the most runs in an over in a Test match.
