He's taken the most wickets in the series (16) and will be hoping to be selected for the next Test at Old Trafford in eight days' time. He is included in England's 14-man squad. Broad spoke to Sky Sports on Tuesday about his memorable partnership with Stokes. "Sometimes I just like to get in a little battle for myself," he said. "I knew that it was such an important moment of that game at Lord's and I needed to make sure I was mentally switched on and able to do a job for Ben Stokes at the other end. "Part of my strategy was to pick a fight with a couple of Australians so I wouldn't be focusing on too much technique. I would just be focusing on the ball and making sure I could stay there." The ongoing Ashes series is one of the spiciest in recent memory, with Australia's players clashing with Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) members at Lord's during the second Test. The unpleasant scenes unfolded after Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal. Bairstow was stumped from distance by Alex Carey during England's unsuccessful run case at Lord's, but he was only out of his crease because he assumed the ball was dead. Many fans have){kind=link}
