Speaking about his performance in the first game, Broad said, "Personally, maybe I was a bit tentative, questioning my rhythm and how my action was, instead of focusing on being really competitive"

England pace-bowling stalwart Stuart Broad has conceded he was a "bit tentative" in the opening Test against South Africa at Lord`s, which the hosts lost by an innings and 12 runs inside three days, and has indicated he is going to show his "ultra-competitive" side in the second match at Old Trafford in order to help his side return to winning ways.
Even though Broad became only the second player to take 100 Test wickets at Lord`s, joining long-time pace-bowling partner James Anderson, his bowling left a lot to be desired as the 36-year-old could manage just one wicket as his side was thrashed by the Proteas, who took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
