Broad leads the charge as Windies six down on Day Two of the decisive Test

Rarely can a bowler have celebrated a wicket that had not yet even been given quite so spectacularly as Stuart Broad, left fist pumping wildly, when he trapped Roston Chase palpably lbw on Saturday. But then no-one has mastered the ‘celebrappeal’ quite like Broad.

Certainly, there was little doubt Richard Kettleborough would raise his finger when Broad eventually turned round to face him as even Chase himself appeared to start to walk before the umpire confirmed his fate.

It was the moment England’s superiority over West Indies in this deciding Test had been emphatically underlined and the moment the junior member of their re-united old bowling firm had again shown that any reports of his demise had been greatly exaggerated.
