Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad has slammed India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for his poor shot selection at Lord’s in the second innings. “So Jaiswal getting out, really bad shot, I’m surprised He just didn’t look to cut it over the off-side, suddenly England are like okay, we are in. He is the player who moves the scoreboard forward,” Stuart Broad said on ‘For The Love Of Cricket’ podcast.“In a low chase, when you are defending, if you come to bowl and you’ve got a Sehwag, Warner, the opening batters that can take the game away from you and they up 60 for none or one off ten, the game is sort of done,” he added.Broad then explained why Jaiswal’s wicket opened the gate for England.
“As soon as Karun Nair came in, he is someone who plays each ball on merit, then England could control it and set attacking fields, create pressure. So I thought that was a really big moment. England making that breakthrough early, Jaiswal gone,” Broad said.India lost the Lord’s Test by 22 runs. England are leading the five-match Test series by 2-1. The fourth match of the five-Test series will be played at the Old Trafford in Manchester, starting from July 23.
