Adil Rashid 200 ODI Wickets: England's Adil Rashid has etched his name in the history books by becoming the third-fastest spinner to scalp 200 ODI wickets. The 36-year old leaves behind the likes of Abdur Razzak and Anil Kumble, who were his nearest challengers, and his 200th wicket came during the England Vs Australia 2nd ODI at Headingley, with Glenn Maxwell falling prey to Adil Rashid's slider.

The right-arm wrist spinner has now 201 wickets to his name and now becomes only the third English player to reach the landmark. Only James Anderson (269) and Darren Gough (234) are ahead of him.

However, a spirited effort from Alex Carey spoiled the fun for the English fans in attendance, as his valiant knock powered Australia to 270, and England, in reply, could only manage 202, as they were humbled by the Australian bowlers.

"I think we bowled really nicely, to restrict them to 270 was a really good job by the bowlers on this pitch. Probably we lost many wickets in the powerplay. We gave a couple of early boundaries in the over while they were batting. We have good ball-strikers. We are a very young side, against one of the best teams in the world. It's only two games in which we will be looking to learn. I think there are a lot of positives we can take from these two games. It's just that things haven't gone our way," said Harry Brook, England Captain, during the post-match presentation ceremony.
