BULAWAYO PROVINCE, ZIMBABWE, JUL 7 – Mulder scored the second-fastest triple century in Test history and became the highest South African Test scorer, declaring on 367 not out to prioritize team victory.

  • Mulder reached this milestone off 297 balls after building on an overnight score of 264, which was the highest day-one score by a South African in Test history.
  • Zimbabwe won the toss and chose to bowl, but Mulder anchored the innings with significant stands of 184 runs alongside David Bedingham and 217 runs with Lhuan-dre Pretorius, helping South Africa reach their sixth-highest total in Test cricket.
  • Mulder became the youngest Test captain to score a triple hundred at 27 years and 138 days, surpassing Bob Simpson's 61-year-old record and joining Hashim Amla as South Africa's second triple centurion.
