Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist claimed his 350th catch in one-day internationals on Saturday in the Champions Trophy match against England.

Gilchrist, 34, the leading one-day stumper, caught Kevin Pietersen off left-arm paceman Mitchell Johnson for one run to reach the milestone.

England, asked to bat first, were 84 for two in the must-win Group A league tie when Pietersen fell.

The effort took Gilchrist's total tally including stumpings to 395 victims in his 244th game.

South African Mark Boucher lies second with 327 victims.

The Australia vice-captain is also Test cricket's third most successful wicketkeeper, behind compatriot Ian Healy (395) and Boucher (364).

Gilchrist's tally stands at 355.
