Broad’s form a worry: Coach

England’s bowling coach David Saker hopes Stuart Broad can rediscover his best form ahead of the third Test against India after failing to perform up to standards, according to Sky Sports.

Broad only managed 12 wicketless overs which cost the team 60 runs — this was after declaring himself fit to play the second Test even though he was feeling under the weather the day before.

“It is a bit of an issue,” admitted Saker. “He has not bowled as we would have liked, but he’s not the first bowler to come over here and find it hard.”

There is a possibility Steven Finn could feature in the third Test if he has fully recovered from his thigh strain by then.
