The Ashes: Stuart Broad says England can ‘feel the energy of the country’ after brilliant spell in first Test

Stuart Broad says England can “feel the energy of the country” after his brilliant spell on the fourth evening of the First Test set-up a finale with the potential to rival Edgbaston’s 2005 epic.

Broad took the vital wickets of Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, the No1 and No2 ranked batters in the world, as Australia were reduced to 107 for three in pursuit of the 281 required for victory.
