Saker warns England after 'complacent' display


David Saker has defended Stuart Broad's aggression, while warning him to channel it for the good of the team


England's bowling coach, David Saker, has criticised his charges for a "complacent" performance on the third afternoon of the second Test at Edgbaston, during which Pakistan's tail took advantage of the best batting conditions of the match to turn a likely innings defeat into a potentially tricky target of 118. Though the match was eventually won by a comfortable nine-wicket margin to hand England their sixth Test victory in a row, Saker insisted that such lapses cannot be tolerated if England are to pose a real threat when they fly to Australia for the Ashes later this year.
