South Africa's allrounder Jacques Kallis created history when he joined Garry Sobers as the only player to have scored 8000 runs and taken 200 wickets in Tests.

Kallis reached the landmark an hour after lunch when Stephen Fleming edged a drive to AB de Villiers at third slip.

"It's a special club, obviously, and it's an honour to join it," said Kallis. "It will probably mean more to me after I have finished playing when it begins to sink in and I can look back and see what I have achieved. I'm very proud of joining a man like him."
