On Saturday he suffered a broken nose when he top-edged a Varun Aaron bouncer in the fourth Test against India in Manchester.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">Broad was taken to a hospital for scans shortly afterwards with his padding strapped around his nose.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">After being assessed by a specialist in facial reconstructive techniques, Broad was told told he would not require facial surgery.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">Broad, however, was unable to pick up his man of the match award for his first innings figures of six for 25.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">Without the services of the fast bowler, England went on to defeat India by an innings and 54 runs inside three days to take a 2-1 series lead.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
