    		Did you mean single score by one person?
    Bradman scored 947 runs (avg 139.14) in the 1930 test series against England which is the highest aggregate ever in a test series.

    His 309 runs on 11th July 1930 during his innings of 334 v England at Leeds, is the highest in a days play in a test match.

    		At The Oval in 1938, England scored 903 for 7 dec. against Australia - this is the highest score in the first innings of a test.

    At Kingston, Jamaica, England scored 1121 for the loss of 19 wickets against West Indies - this is the highest total score in both innings for one side in a test.

    		If you mean one individual Test score,then it was Brian Lara - 375 runs.
    He broke Sir Garfield Sober's longstanding Test record of 375 (not out)on April 18th.1994.

    		The gorm is now slightly out of date. In 1998 Sri Lanka racked up 952 for 6 dec in their first innnings versus India. The highest 2nd innings total is 671-4 by NZ v SL in 1991. (the 1121 one team aggregate is still correct)

    The highest individual score is Lara's 375. The highest 2nd innings effort is Hanif Mohammed with 337.

    The individual best for a match is Graham Gooch with 456 (333 and 123) v. India in 1990.

    Allan Border is still the only man to have made 150 plus in both innings of a match (v. Pakistan 1980).

    Lara holds another high scoring record of note -- most runs scored by an individual finishing on the losing side - 351 (221 and 130) v Sri Lanka 2001.
