Broad set to play at the Oval sans mask

LONDON: Stuart Broad, who copped a nasty blow on the bridge of his nose at Old Trafford, did not practise at The Oval on Wednesday, but according to England team sources, the lanky pacer will play the fifth Test beginning here on Friday if there is no risk of aggravating his injury.

At least team-mate Joe Root was pretty confident of that.

"He is not a very pretty sight now. He's not got his 'boy-band' looks you'd normally associate with Stuart and he is milking it on the social networking sites," he said.

"But I'm sure he'll be desperate to play on Friday. He's obviously in good form ...and will be wanting to finish the series strongly with the rest of us," Root added.

Meanwhile, the Mirror reported that Broad may not need any special protective mask to play the fifth Test as the swelling on his nose has reduced.

India's loss a boon for the homeless India's loss inside three days at Old Trafford was not good for the visiting team's reputation, but it did have one unexpected spin-off.

Lancashire County Cricket Club, the owners of Old Trafford, were able to use the sandwiches, initially ordered to feed all the staff and volunteers on the fourth and fifth days of the Test to provide support to local homeless people.

Rather than seeing the food go waste, the club donated the sandwiches to Narrowgate Emergency Accommodation in the hope of "making a small difference".

Anderson crossed the line of respect: Brearley

As the storm settles down over the spat between Ravindra Jadeja and James Anderson, former England captain Mike Brearley has said that the pacer should be encouraged to harness his aggression but not at the expense of respect.

Brearley, writing in his column for The Times', said Anderson is not being a role model when he crosses the line of proper respect.
