Which two teams were involved in the first tied Test match?

The first tied Test match was played between Australia and the West Indies. It took place at Brisbane's Gabba from 9 to 14 December 1960, during the West Indies tour of Australia.

The West Indies made 453 in their first innings, highlighted by Garfield Sobers' 132, while Australia replied with 505 after Norm O'Neill scored 181. The West Indies then made 284, leaving Australia a target of 233 runs.

Australia reached 227 for seven in the final over, needing six runs to win. With wickets falling and frantic running between the wickets, Australia finished on 232 all out, exactly level with the West Indies on 453 runs overall. A tie is different from a draw: both teams must have identical scores and be fully dismissed or have the match otherwise reach its decisive final moment.

The match remains famous for its dramatic finish and is one of only two tied Tests in cricket history. Both involved Australia and ended on the last day with the scores level.
