South African batsman AB de Villiers reignited a controversy over ball tampering yesterday when he accused England fast bowler Stuart Broad of being 'a little bit naughty'.
Set 466 to win or to bat out a potential 146 overs England were 132 for three at the close. Television pictures captured Broad stopping, then stepping on the ball with his spikes, while fellow fast bowler James Anderson appeared to be manipulating the seam. "It's not on to be climbing onto the ball with your spikes," said De Villiers. "We all like to get the ball to reverse and to swing all over the show as long as you do it in a legal way," said De Villiers.
