Stuart Broad sustained the injury during a warm-up session ahead of the second Test at Lord’s. He and the other England bowlers either had just a few days of practice behind them or match-time in The Hundred and T20 Blast before the series.

Stuart Broad also weighed in on his partner James Anderson’s superb form in the series. He said the veteran pacer’s ‘inspiring’ returns, which have so far included nine wickets, will be crucial for the hosts if they have to compete against India. Broad added:
