Broad also became the seventh bowler in the world cricket to breach the 500-wicket mark on the Day 5 of the third Test in Manchester. Australia's Pat Cummins still holds the top spot with 904 points and Kagiso Rabada on second with 843.
Another England bowler to advance is Chris Woakes, whose five-wicket haul in the second innings has lifted him to 20th position and a career-best rating points tally of 654.
Meanwhile, India's Jasprit Bumrah, who last played a Test match against New Zealand ahead of coronavirus break, has dropped down a place and is currently at the eighth spot in bowler's rankings. West Indies skipper Jason Holder has dropped down by two places and is at the fifth spot.
