Bopara and Broad came together when England were tottering at 114 for 7 and have stitched a memorable 99-run partnership to take England home. Broad's all-round brilliance has earned him the Man-of-the-Match award. An awesome effort, really. Thats all we have for you tonight, folks. Do join us for the fifth match live from Headingley on Sunday, September 2. This is Sriram Veera signing off. Cheers!
