Stuart Broad Record: Stuart Broad created history, did this big thing for the second time in 25 years
Test match is being played between England and Ireland at Lord’s Cricket Stadium. On the very first day of this match, on Thursday, England’s fast bowler Stuart Broad did a big job in the initial overs itself. Broad is the second highest wicket-taker in Tests for England. He also bowled brilliantly against Ireland and gave the initial shock to Ireland.
The opening session is very important in a Test match. Every team thinks of dominating in this session. Ireland’s attempt was also the same, but Broad turned his hopes and weakened him in seven overs.
This happened for the second time in 25 years
Stuart Broad took three wickets for Ireland in seven overs. He gave the first blow to Ireland by dismissing Peter Moore on the second ball of the fifth over for a total score of 15. After this, he dismissed Andy Balbarini on the first ball of the seventh over without opening the account. On the third ball of this over, he sent Harry Tector to the pavilion.
Broad has done the feat of taking three wickets in the first seven overs in an innings of a Test match for the second time in the last 25 years. Broad had done this work before Ireland against Australia at Trent Bridge in 2015 and has done it now. Against Australia, Broad was successful in taking five wickets in the first seven overs.
Focus on the ashes
This Test match against Ireland is a kind of preparation for the Ashes for England. The Ashes are starting from 17th June. The first match of this series to be played between Australia and England will be played in Birmingham. The last match of this series will be played at The Oval from 27 to 31 July.
