Stuart Broad has described England's bowling performance against Pakistan earlier this afternoon as an "excellent day".

The bowler helped himself to three wickets as the tourists restricted Pakistan to 256-7 on the opening day of the second Test match in Abu Dhabi.

However, the 25-year-old has insisted that England must carry that form into tomorrow.

"Excellent day for us today. Means nothing unless we have an excellent day tomorrow!."

Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar claimed England's other wickets.
