The largest attendance at a five-day Test match
In an opening match of the Asian Test Championship at Eden Gardens (Kolkata, India) on 16-20 February 1999, it was an estimated that there were 465,000 people saw Pakistan beat India by 46 runs.
The match attracted an over-capacity crowd on the fifth and final day despite Pakistan requiring only 4 wickets to clinch a victory. Eden Gardens has a listed capacity of 66,000, which means that the match was over-attended by 135,000 people across the five days.
Report by ESPNcricinfo, “This had been the best-attended Test in history. For the first four days, the ground was full. Though there are no official attendance figures at Calcutta that is now believed to mean about 100,000 people. On the last day, the ground was about two-thirds full even though only four wickets were left to fall, suggesting a total attendance of around 465,000.”
