#4 Jonathan Trott (226) - 1st Test, Bangladesh's 2010 tour of England: May 27

As the Tigers toured the English lands for the second time after 2003, they were probably aware of the immense defeats they had faced back then, and also maybe hoped a change in the situation. But Jonathan Trott proved otherwise on Day 1 of the First Test itself, scoring 226 off 349 balls, helping the hosts to a formidable 505. Bangladesh scored 282 in reply, after which they were asked to follow on when they did better, scoring 382 in the second innings and overcoming the lead. However, England just needed 160 to win, which they easily scored losing just two wickets, Trott himself hitting the winning runs.

The knock, which featured 20 boundaries and cemented his place in the England squad, is Jonathan Trott's career best as well. He retired in 2015 after quite a remarkable career, things taking an ugly turn in the end as he succumbed to stress and quit the game.
