Former England head coach Peter Moores has heaped praise on Stuart Broad as the fast bowler wins his 100th Test cap for his country.

The ongoing match against India in Rajkot sees Broad reach a century for England, during which time he has claimed 360 wickets.

Moores has worked with Broad at international level in two separate spells and is currently the head coach of his county Nottinghamshire, and he believes that the 30-year-old has had a "huge impact" on cricket in the country.

"It's a mixture. He is fiercely competitive, and he has an opinion on things. He's got a view of how you should approach it and what you should do, and there is a nice stubbornness in there that means he will move and change but you have to debate it with him to see if it is the right thing to do. He'll always have control of his own mind and I think that's really important - top-flight sportsmen have that," he told PA.

"He is one of the faster learners I've coached, in terms of adapting to situations in a game. That ability to embrace things he needs to and being brave enough to use them has been something that's been with him all the way through his career and that is why he keeps getting better. There are a lot of talented players out there, but it's what you do with it, and I think Stuart's ability to maximise what he has got has been key. He came into first-class cricket and showed straight away he was a savvy cricketer.

"He is a great England quick bowler and cricketer. Anyone who gets to where Stuart's at, people who have played 100 Test matches are all great cricketers and have been brilliant servants to English cricket. He has had a huge impact on English cricket over the last seven to eight years, and that to me is what goes with the great players - they make a difference in the games they play in. They win series. People who play with them feed off them. That is something Stuart Broad has got.

"Stuart really looks after his body and the nice thing is he is still hungry. You listen to him speak and he is very driven to keep playing and achieving things. He has this great ability to sense an opportunity to take wickets and go for it. If he manages to stay on the park and play, his next milestone is to try to get to 400, which would be an unbelievable achievement."

England currently lead India by 474 runs after day two of the first Test.
