Zimbabwe made history by scoring more than 500 runs in both innings of a Test match for the first time, as their opening Test against Afghanistan ended in a draw in Sharjah.

The two teams piled up 1,541 runs, with at least six batters scoring centuries on a batting-friendly pitch. Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine remained unbeaten on 206 off 279 balls, while Wesley Madhevere and debutant Antum Naqvi also made significant contributions.

Zimbabwe's achievement marked their highest-ever team total in a Test innings and made them the first team in their Test history to score 500-plus runs in both innings of a single match.
