Stuart Broad said Saturday's hat-trick meant more to him than the last one he achieved – for Oakham School Under-15 side.

"The atmosphere wasn't quite as good at school, with the parents watching," he said, after performing the first hat-trick against India in Test cricket. "But it won't mean much if we don't go on and win this Test match. Tomorrow [Sunday] will be our biggest test in this match, to see if we can get 300 runs and put the Indians under pressure on the last day because I think that wicket will be pretty useful to bowl on for the seamers, with variable bounce."

Broad delighted his own home crowd for the second day in succession, following up his counter-attacking 64 on Friday that kept England in the Test.

"India had three-quarters of the day – I said this after the first day – and we nicked the last session. We're fighting hard and tomorrow is going to be a huge day if we can bat big. We need one guy to go and get a hundred, and a big hundred, and we're right in the game. And bowling last on that wicket could be an advantage for us.

"We dropped Yuvraj [Singh] on four which was a concern when he and Dravid were playing brilliantly," he said. "We knew the new-ball period would be a huge hour for us. Straussy asked us at tea if we could all raise our intensity in that hour to put some pressure on the India batsmen and fortunately there was a little swing with the new ball and the edges came our way. So we have got ourselves back in this game."

Broad admitted that he felt the edge of VVS Laxman's bat after the player had survived a strong appeal for a catch behind. HotSpot did not show up any contact and there were mischievous rumours that there may have been Vaseline on the edge of the bat.

Broad said: "Sarcastically, I had a cheeky feel of his edge the ball went past. But I just felt the edge. There was no Vaseline or anything there so I think it was just HotSpot not showing the very faint edge. It's HotSpot. We found that the really faint edges don't show up."

There was a scare for England when Jonathan Trott left the field after taking a heavy fall on his left shoulder while fielding. He tried to save a single at wide mid-off, and his team-mates called immediately for medical assistance as he lay prone. He left the ground with his arm in a sling and though a scan ruled out bone damage, he may not be able to bat on Sunday. He was receiving further treatment on Saturday night and his situation will be reassessed on Sunday morning.

Rahul Dravid, meanwhile, reflected on his second successive Saturday century in this series. It moved him level with the Indian great Sunil Gavaskar on 34 Test hundreds.

"It is fantastic to share something with the legend," said Dravid. "I don't compare myself with Mr Gavaskar – he is an absolute legend of the game – but I grew up as a kid in a generation where Gavaskar and [Gundappa] Viswanath were big heroes for us.

"In all my backyard games of cricket, I was either a Gavaskar or a Viswanath. So for me to be able to equal something that he has done is truly fantastic."
