Stuart Broad expecting 'big changes' to England performance in third Ashes Test

England bowler Stuart Broad expects 'big changes' in the team's performance during the third Ashes Test.

Stuart Broad has claimed that people will see 'big changes' from England during the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston.

The five-match series is currently level at 1-1 after Australia thrashed the hosts by 405 runs at Lord's.

England have made changes to their batting lineup for the third Test, with Jonny Bairstow replacing Gary Ballance and Ian Bell promoted to number three, and Broad believes that England will benefit from new order.

"I think when we get to Edgbaston you'll see a very determined, steely, skilful batting lineup for England," he told The Telegraph. "I think it'll be a big change from Lord's.

"Let's not forget that Edgbaston and Trent Bridge are two fantastic grounds for the England cricket team. It's a huge week. I read somewhere that England haven't won the third Ashes Test since 1981, which has got to change.

"A lot has been written this week about it being the end of the world, like we're losing 10-0. But, actually, it's 1-1. They've played fantastically one week, we've played fantastically one week. Let battle commence."

The third Ashes Test between England and Australia gets underway at Edgbaston on Wednesday.
