Stuart Broad hopes his three-wicket haul in the final Test against South Africa can help establish him as one of England's front-line seamers in the future.

The 22-year-old Nottinghamshire bowler claimed three for 44 in the tourists' second innings, only the second haul of two wickets or more in his Test career, as England dismissed their opponents for 318 at the Brit Oval.

"In my career I'd like to become a strike bowler and a new-ball bowler for England, but you have to earn that right," said Broad, who has been used as a fourth seamer in a five-man attack during the current Test. "I'm thoroughly enjoying Test match cricket and hopefully a haul will come at some stage."

He added: "It's stood me in good stead because I think after about 10 one-day internationals I only had about five wickets, and at that time I was thinking about how I was going to get international wickets and after 30 I've got 40-odd now.

"Not getting wickets at the start of my international career is not something I'm panicking about - you learn how to get international wickets and hopefully this is a start that can spur me on."
