Fast bowler Stuart Broad admitted he doubted himself ahead of the Lord's Test but was happy to prove doubters wrong with a match haul of seven for 74 runs that helped England beat world No.1 India by 196 runs in the 100th Test between the two countries.

"It was pleasing to come back into this Test series and do well. Because that was the first time I'd ever been doubted, or had a lot of criticism. To be able to put that to the back of my mind and perform like I did gave me a lot of confidence - because there are going to be times again when I am taking stick," he said.
