Meanwhile, Anderson, 39, is struggling with a thigh problem sustained on Wednesday. Broad suffered his injury warming-up on Tuesday. Broad’s 524 wickets make him England’s second-most successful Test bowler behind longtime new-ball partner Anderson, whose 621 are an all-time record for any fast bowler at this level.

England could be without both Stuart Broad and James Anderson in a home Test for the first time in nearly a decade following a double injury setback at Lord’s.
Broad, 35, has been ruled out of the rest of the five-match series against India after pulling up with a calf problem ahead of the second Test at Lord’s starting today, which could have marked his 150th appearance in the format.
Meanwhile, Anderson, 39, is struggling with a thigh problem sustained on Wednesday. Broad suffered his injury warming-up on Tuesday. Broad’s 524 wickets make him England’s second-most successful Test bowler behind longtime new-ball partner Anderson, whose 621 are an all-time record for any fast bowler at this level. Earlier on Wednesday, the ECB announced that Saqib Mahmood, uncapped at Test level, had been called up as cover for Broad.
