England fast bowler Stuart Broad has made a big record in the first Test match against South Africa. Broad completed a century of wickets at Lord's Ground, called the Mecca of Cricket, as soon as he took the wicket of Africa's wicket-keeper batsman, Kyle Verne, on the second day. He has become the second bowler in the world to take 100 Test wickets on this ground. Before him, this feat was done by his fellow fast bowler James Anderson. With this, Broad has become the fourth bowler in the world to take 100 or more wickets on the ground.

The Sri Lankan legend has taken 100 or more wickets at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Galle, Kandy and Colombo.
