In this quiz, you have to name the batsmen with the most runs as an opener in Test cricket.

We have kept the cut-off at 5,000 runs, which means that 25 batsmen make it to the list. The span denotes the period in which they featured as an opener in Test cricket.

Englishmen dominates the list, with as many as eight players from England part of the list.

You have five minutes to name all 25. Just last names will do.
