Sachin Tendulkar today overtook Australian great Allan Border to become the second highest runscorer in the history of Test cricket.
Tendulkar, who is unbeaten on 32 in the second innings of India's first Test against Pakistan at Ferozeshah Kotla, now tallies 11,183 runs in 141 Tests and only former West Indian captain Brian Lara, who retired earlier this year, lies ahead of the Mumbai batsman.

Lara scored 11,953 run in 131 Tests while Border had amassed 11,174 runs in 156 clashes during his career.

Interestingly, Tendulkar has played fewer innings (228) than Lara (232), who tops the list while Border's tally came in 265 innings.

Tendulkar reached the milestone in style with a boundary off a Mohammad Sami delivery. He striked a lovely on drive off the back foot between mid-on and midwicket.

The 34-year-old needs a further 771 runs to eclipse Lara's total.

Tendulkar also has over 15,000 runs in the one-day cricket.
