Stuart Broad became the first
England bowler to take two hat-tricks in Test cricket, and added his name in the list of unique accomplishment that have done twice in test Cricket. Stuart Broad is only the 4th bowler of all time, as
England tore through
Sri Lanka's lower order on the opening day of the Headingly Test # 2126. It was a significant achievement all the same, taking him alongside
Australia's leg spinner Jimmy Matthews (who did it twice in the same match), his fellow
Australian Hugh Trumble and Wasim Akram of
Pakistan as the only players to accomplish the feat twice. Broad's previous success came against India at Trent Bridge in 2011. Stuart Broad hat-trick includes Kumar Sangakkara mainstay of
Sri Lanka's innings, for 79, well caught by Ian Bell at gully, and then added Dinesh Chandimal at first slip and Shaminda Eranga, a catch to the keeper, with the first two deliveries of his following over.
