England-Pakistan combined current Test XI

#8 Stuart Broad

Broad will have to contend with first change this time around

An enforcer who has demonstrated the habit of running through batting lineups almost singlehandedly, Broad is making giant strides with every season. Possessing stifling velocity and the aptitude to generate awkward bounce, he can make things happen out of nowhere.

Though his batting appears to have regressed glaringly, a semblance of feistiness still remains making him a viable number 8. But as long as Stuart keeps on delivering telling spells, he might not need to do too much with the bat.
