England fast bowler Stuart Broad has insisted the team's humiliating 405-run defeat in the second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord's was 'not end of the world' and the team will bounce back.

Broad said that a lot has been written about the defeat being the end of the world as if they were losing 10-0, Sport24 reported.

He insisted that it is actually 1-1, therefore, England need to put the defeat behind and look forward at Edgbaston, adding that they need to belief themselves that they could win.

The 29-year-old bowler said that there was no reason his side, who won the first Test in Cardiff by 169 runs, could not bounce back at Edgbaston.

He also said that the fans would see a very determined, steely, skilful batting line-up for England in the third Ashes Test.

Meanwhile, Broad said that England would feel a lot comfortable in the next two Tests, scheduled to be played in Edgbaston and Nottingham's Trent Bridge, as they have a good track record there.

The two teams will lock horns at Edgbaston for the third Test starting on Wednesday with Australia, the current Ashes holder, aiming for their first Ashes series win in Britain since 2001.
