Southampton: Ace English spinner Adil Rashid on Saturday during the second One Day International match of three-match ODI series vs Ireland became the first English spinner to register 150 wickets in one-dayers.
Rashid bagged the wickets of Harry Tector (28), Lorcan Tucker (21), and Kevin O'Brien (3) to register 150 scalps in the 50-over format.
The spinner has achieved the feat in his 102nd ODI for England.
Before Rashid, Graeme Swann had the most wickets as a spinner for England as he ended his white-ball career with 104 wickets from 79 matches.
For England, James Anderson has bagged the most number of wickets (269) in ODIs.
Anderson is followed by Darren Gough (234), Stuart Broad (178), Andrew Flintoff (168), and now Rashid.
Meanwhile, England sealed the three-match ODI series against Ireland after winning the second game by four wickets.
England now enjoys a 2-0 lead in the series as they had won the first ODI by six wickets.
Chasing a target of 213 runs, England witnessed a poor start as Jason Roy gave away his wicket on the third ball of the innings.
James Vince then joined opener Jonny Bairstow on the field. Both played a fast-paced inning, smashing regular boundaries and sixes.
Vince and Bairstow formed a 71-run partnership before the former was bowled by Curtis Campher in the ninth over. Vince's dismissal brought Tom Banton out on the field.
However, their partnership did not last for too long as Campher struck again, taking the wicket of Banton (15). Whereas, after completing his half-century, Bairstow started playing furiously.
Bairstow scored 82 runs off just 41 deliveries before Joshua Little handed Ireland the much-needed breakthrough of the wicketkeeper-batsman. In his next over, Little clinched two wickets, Eoin Morgan and Moeen Ali, which reduced England to 137/6.
Sam Billings and David Willey then took the charge of the chase and played cautiously to take their side over the line in the 33rd over.
The Three Lions had won the first match by six wickets after chasing down a below-par total of 173 runs.
