England bowler Stuart Broad takes 300th Test wicket

Stuart Broad passes the 300-wicket mark in Test cricket on day one of the fourth Ashes Test at Trent Bridge.

England's Stuart Broad has claimed the 300th Test wicket of his career on the opening morning of the fourth Ashes Test at Trent Bridge.

Opening the bowling in front of a home crowd, the 29-year-old Nottinghamshire bowler came around the wicket to Chris Rogers with just his third delivery of the day.

In attempting to play a shot, the Australian batsman could only edge the ball into the slips, where captain Alastair Cook was waiting to take the catch to give Broad his landmark wicket.

For Rogers, it was the first time that he had ever been bowled for a duck in a Test match.
