Veteran England cricketer Stuart Broad said playing against Australia brings out the best in him after achieving the remarkable feat of becoming the second fast bowler to pick 600 wickets in Test cricket on day one of the fourth Ashes Test.

The 37-year-old achieved the historic feat after taking the wicket of Australia’s left-handed batter Travis Head.  Broad was on 598 at the start of the fourth Test in Manchester when England opted to bowl first and dismissed Usman Khawaja in his first spell to get to 599.
