Broad enjoys 'fantastic' win

England paceman Stuart Broad has described his incredible match-winning performance against India at Old Trafford as "special".

The 21-year-old was named man of the match after starring with both bat and ball in England's thrilling three-wicket victory in the fourth NatWest Series clash.

Broad, who shared a match-clinching 99-run partnership with Ravi Bopara after earlier picking up four wickets with the ball, said: "It's a special day for me and the lads. We've won the game and that's what we were aiming for - it was fantastic to be involved in that."

Broad (45 not out) revealed how England's superior run-rate allowed him and 22-year-old Bopara (43no) to approach their task without panicking.

"We had plenty of time to bat so there wasn't any scoreboard pressure," he added.

"We didn't need five or six (an over) where we needed to play outrageous shots. We could just play each ball on its merits and pick up runs that way.

"We kept talking to each other, kept it very simple and went down in 10s.

"When we got to 30-35 (remaining), Rav said 'Come on, this is not many runs, we can do this if we keep playing'."
