Pakistan's Wasim Akram created cricket history on Tuesday by becoming the first player to take 500 one-day international wickets.
The legendary south-paw achieved this feat when he bowled Dutch opener Nick Statham in the World Cup Group A match.
Statham played a typical in-swinger from Wasim delivery on to his stumps for a duck.
Wasim had claimed his 499th victim on Saturday when he had England opener Marcus Trescothick caught by wicket-keeper Rashid Latif for one.
