England pacer Stuart Broad made one of the rare feats in the first Test match between England and South Africa at Lord's. On Day 2 of the Test match at this venue, Broad became the second bowler in the history of cricket to pick up 100 or more wickets at the prestigious Lord's venue.

The tall right-arm pace bowler got to the feat with the wicket of South African wicket-keeper Kyle Verrynne. He currently has exactly 100 wickets at this venue thus far. James Anderson, the other player to have made this feat at this venue, is also featuring in this match whose tally currently stands at 117* at this venue!
Broad is the fourth bowler overall to have picked up 100 or more wickets at a single venue. The other two bowlers were two spinners from Sri Lanka - Muttiah Muralitharan and Rangana Herath. Muralitharan is leading this game having made this feat at three different venues - SSC (166 wickets), Kandy (117), and Galle (111).
Herath made this feat at Galle having picked up 102 wickets at this venue. Given the fact that Anderson and Broad are still around in Test cricket, they have the possibility of picking up more and more wickets at Lord's in the upcoming future!
