Stuart Broad will probably have better matches than the fourth ODI against India at Old Trafford, but for the moment it is the highlight of his fledgling international career. He took 4 for 51 as India were restricted to 212 and then scored 45 in an eight-wicket partnership of 99 - a national record - with Ravi Bopara that won the game for England. Both of Broad's performances, with bat and ball, were his career-best. This week we look at instances where a player has made his highest score and taken his best bowling figures in the same match. We've made the tables progressive, which is why Paul Collingwood, who scored 112 and took 6 for 31 against Bangladesh at Trent Bridge in 2005, appears on top. Those were his career-best performances in ODIs at the time, but he has scored 120 against Australia at Melbourne in 2007 since.
Dave Callaghan's 169* and 3-32 v New Zealand, Centurion, 1994
Dave Callaghan's otherwise unremarkable one-day career had one terrific game. After spending nearly a year on the sidelines, Callaghan was drafted in as opener in his comeback match against New Zealand in December 1994. Callaghan went on to bat 50 overs, scoring 169 off 143 balls with 19 fours and four sixes. It was the highest individual score by a South African in ODIs and it helped them achieve 314 for 7, their highest total at the time. Callaghan, however, wasn't done. Wicketkeeper Adam Parore kept New Zealand competitive by scoring his maiden century before Callaghan ended his innings on 105 off 98 balls. He dismissed Shane Thompson and Murphy Su'a as well, to finish with career-best figures and also ran out Martin Crowe to complete a near-perfect day.

Malcolm Marshall's 3-28 and 56* v Pakistan, Adelaide, 1984
Pakistan had reason to feel confident of victory, having reduced West Indies to 92 for 7 chasing 178 for victory. Marshall, however, held the tail together, adding 53 for the eighth wicket with Eldine Baptiste and 14 with Michael Holding. West Indies were still 19 away when last man Wayne Daniel joined Marshall, but together they took West Indies through to a thrilling victory with five balls to spare. Earlier in the day Marshall had played a significant role is restricting Pakistan to 177. He had Mansoor Akhtar and Javed Miandad caught by Jeff Dujon and bowled Salim Malik to finish with 3 for 28. It was Marshall's 32nd ODI and these were his best performances at the time.

Tim May's 5-9 and 42* v West Indies, Adelaide, 1992-93
Tim May was playing his first Test in four years and it was in front of his home crowd. Trailing 0-1 in the series, West Indies were building on a first-innings lead of 39 when May struck. He took five wickets for five runs in 32 balls as the West Indian middle order collapsed. May's 5 for 9 were his best figures and Australia were set a target of 186. May joined Justin Langer with Australia in trouble, needing another 84 runs with two wickets in hand after Curtly Ambrose and Ian Bishop had the top order in shambles. They added 42 for the ninth wicket but a West Indian victory seemed certain when Langer fell on 144 for 9. May, however, continued to keep Australian hopes alive with No.11 Craig McDermott. They had added 40 and taken Australia to within two runs of victory when McDermott gloved Courtney Walsh to Junior Murray. May was unbeaten on 42 and West Indies had won by one run - the narrowest margin of victory possible.

Majid Khan's 4-45 and 167 v West Indies, 3rd Test, 1977
West Indies piled up 488 in response to Pakistan's 194 in the first innings. Majid Khan picked up his career-best figures, bowling Gordon Greendige for 91 and dismissing Deryck Murray, Joel Garner and the injured Clive Lloyd to pick up 4 for 45. Facing a first-innings deficit of 254, Pakistan were in danger of going 0-2 down in the series. Majid opened the innings with Sadiq Mohammad and they added 60 before Sadiq had to retire after getting hit on the jaw by Andy Roberts. After being dropped on 74, Majid battled on, adding 159 for the second wicket with Zaheer Abbas, and by the time he was dismissed for 167, Pakistan were on their way to saving the Test.

Mushtaq Mohammad's 201 and 5-49 v New Zealand, 2nd Test, 1973
Mushtaq Mohammad's all-round performance at Dunedin led Pakistan to their first Test victory in New Zealand. Batting first, Mushtaq batted for 383 minutes for his 201 and added 350 runs for the fourth wicket with Asif Iqbal. Pakistan declared on 507 for 6 and gained an enormous lead by bowling out New Zealand for 156. Intikhab Alam enforced the follow-on and Mushtaq, on a crumbling pitch, played a significant role in bowling Pakistan to victory by an innings and 166 runs. His 5 for 49 in the second innings made him the second Test player to score a double-century and take five wickets in an innings in the same match. The first was the West Indian Denis Atkinson (219 and 5/56) against Australia in 1954-55.
