It was the stuff of Trent Bridge folklore; Stuart Broad, on his home ground, leading the charge against the old enemy. And what a charge.
Stuart Broad began day one of England's clash with Australia one wicket shy of 300 in Test cricket.
He would end the morning session with 307, and with the destiny of the urn all but assured.
The right-armer snared 8-15 in a spell of bowling the likes of which Trent Bridge had never seen as the Aussies were skittled for 60.
