‘We need a bit of luck’: Stuart Broad says it would be unjust if the weather had a decisive say at Manchester

England seamer Stuart Broad feels the hosts need a bit of luck to level the Ashes series on the final day of the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford. On Day 4 just 30 overs were possible , with the morning and evening sessions wiped out the weather, as Australia finished 61 runs behind on 214-5 in its second innings.
“Sitting in the changing room watching the rain fall yesterday, there was definitely a feeling it would be unjust if weather had a decisive say,” Broad wrote for the Daily Mail.
Stuart Broad feels England need a bit of another window to open to complete the job on Sunday.
“I have never felt the momentum has left us in this series because ultimately we played a brilliant game at Edgbaston, although Australia came out on top,” he said.
“In our own minds, we felt we played all the cricket — we declared on day one, bowled them out and tried to set up a game to get a result.
“Yes, Australia got the first two results with victory at Lord’s too, but it didn’t feel like the impetus was with them, and Ben Stokes’s innings of 155 in the second Test galvanised us.

“Getting within 43 runs created a do-or-die scenario and from then on we knew we had to get things exactly right. At Headingley, we were great and the first few days here we were brilliant.”
Broad said if England win the fifth Test, it would set up for fantastic final at the Oval.
“If we can get to 2-2 it would set up the series just as I’d hoped it would. I said I would love to go to the Oval at 2-2, and I genuinely meant it,” he said.
