brod this is the answer given for that quiz.
8 Pakistan and India drew the second Test in Faisalabad, which was the highest-scoring match in Test history.
i see your point. i checked highest aggregate matches and this game is around 7 or 8th highest. then i thought it was to do with tied test differences but the runs didnt add up.
need to do some more investigation
