Mark Waugh overtakes Greg Chappell in Australia run list

Birmingham, England, July 6: Australia's Mark Waugh became his country's fifth highest Test run scorer when he made 30 in the first innings of the First Test against England here at Edgbaston on Friday.

Waugh, in his 185th innings, went past Greg Chappell's mark of 7,110 runs from 151 innings with a stylish cover driven four off Craig White that Chappell, one of the most elegant players of the 1970s and early 1980s would have appreciated.

World record holder Allan Border (11,174 runs), Waugh's twin brother Steve - batting at the other end when Mark struck White, Mark Taylor (7,525) and David Boon (7,422) are the four Australians still ahead of Waugh
