Stuart Broad delivered a career-best performance to secure another nail-biting victory for England against India at Old Trafford.

The Leicestershire fast bowler continued his impressive progress by claiming four for 51 to help dismiss India for 212 despite the tourists winning the toss in the fourth match of the NatWest Series.

He also contributed an unbeaten 45 off 73 balls to a match-winning 99-run partnership with Ravi Bopara, to help England clinch a three wickets victory with 12 balls remaining.

Walking out to bat with England reeling at 114 for seven, Broad's prospects of finishing on the winning side looked bleak.

But Broad hit three fours during his innings and helped forge a record eighth wicket partnership for England in one-day international cricket.

Bopara finished unbeaten on 43 having also hit three fours in his 82-ball innings.
