Wiaan Mulder's declaration at 367*, just shy of Brian Lara's record, sparked debate after his promotion to No. 3 was previously questioned. Alastair Cook and Michael Vaughan humorously recalled their doubts about Mulder's batting position.

After declaring on himself with 33 runs remaining to tie the highest individual Test score, Mulder said Lara deserves to keep the milestone.

Wiaan Mulder was just 34 runs short of breaking the all-time Test record of 400\* before he chose to declare the innings at lunch, missing a rare chance to etch his name in cricket history.
