Dale Styn Hits 400

The world's top-ranked test bowler,  South Africa's Dale Steyn became the 13th bowler in the Test History to take 400 Test wickets. 

He became the second South African bowler to join the 400 club.

As reported by Hindustan Times, Dale claimed three for 30 and part-time spinner JP Duminy picked up three for 27 to reduce Bangladesh to 246 for eight on the first day of the second test in Mirpur on Thursday.

Earlier in the day, Bangladesh appeared to be cruising at 180 for three with skipper Mushfiqur Rahim (65) leading from the front along with Mahmudullah (35). They added 94 for the fourth wicket to consolidate Bangladesh's position on a slow, dry track. 

Once Mushfiqur's wicket fell to Dean Elgar after bringing up his 15th test fifty, the home side collapsed by losing four wickets for 31 runs.
Nasir Hossain was 13 not out when stumps were drawn.

Dale Styn is the second bowler reaching 400th wicket after former South Africa captain Shaun Pollock(421)
