England and Nottinghamshire bowler Stuart Broad looks ahead to the first test against India at Trent Bridge.

SOUNDBITE (English): Stuart Broad, England bowler:

"We've got a few guys in this side who haven't played a lot of cricket at Trent Bridge, but we've got a lot of guys including Jimmy Anderson, his bowling record here is phenomenal. Ian Bell has scored nearly 500 runs in his last four innings here, so there's a lot of confidence from guys who have played here. But the most confidence comes from winning, we've won five of our last Tests here so we go into this series with confidence.

"The last time India were here, it was probably the best series we've played for years, but a lot of that team has changed. Some people can take some confidence from that but the majority of the players have changed from that series so it is a completely fresh series. We've gotta obviously restart and go again."

Two Test matches is a really short period and it's quite hard to sort of pick up real strengths and weaknesses out of players from that particular time but over five Test matches, you can really get one over on the opening batsman, or I mean they can get one over on you as well. So I like a four or five match series and against one of the best sides in the world, it's always good to play them."
