Sandham's innings was part of a timeless Test match, meaning the game would continue until a result was achieved. However, the match ended in a draw due to time constraints, as England had to board their ship back home.
While Sandham was the first to score 300 in Tests, Don Bradman became the first to do so in an officially recognized Test match that wasn't timeless, scoring 334 against England at Headingley in 1930.
