Broad proud of six-wicket haul

England bowler Stuart Broad has revealed his pride after he took six wickets against the West Indies on the opening day of the first Test at Lord's.

Broad's 6-72 saw the tourists make 243/9 on a difficult day for Darren Sammy's side.

"It's a very proud day for me and more importantly we're in a great position in the Test match," he told Sky Sports News.

"No-one was expecting 100 all out, we knew it was going to be a long day's cricket, so we had to be patient and we thought seven down at night would be a really good day, so to have them nine down is really pleasing."

England need to take one more wicket tomorrow (Friday) before they take to the crease.
