The five-day format of Test cricket was established in 1877. The first official Test match, played between England and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, was a three-day match, but the format evolved to allow up to five days of play to accommodate the complexities of the game and the need for a more definitive result. The extension to five days became standard by the early 20th century.
