English cricket player Stuart Broad is awarded with a silver stump by England’s cricket board before the 3rd Test against Pakistan on Friday. He is the seventh bowler in the history to reach 500 Test wickets in the ongoing Test series between England and Pakistan.
Even as rain held up the start of the first day, the England team held an informal ceremony on the field. ECB chairman Colin Graves handed over a silver stump to Broad.
Broad is now on 511 Test wickets, within reach of Courtney Walsh’s tally of 519.
England captain Joe Root also handed over a signed shirt from the team to Graves, whose tenure is coming to an end.
England lead the three-match series 1-0, with rain having washed out the majority of the 2nd Test. Rain delayed the start of the third match in Southampton as well, but better weather is forecast for the remaining duration of this match.
