The Ashes: Stuart Broad returns to torment David Warner in enduring rivalry

Their rivalry was a key theme in the build-up to the LV= Insurance series and Broad did not have to wait long to snare Warner again as the Australia opener dragged on to his stumps to depart for nine.

Here, we take a look back at their duels over the years to see how they have historically fared against each other.

While Warner was run out by his nemesis at Adelaide, it was not until the fourth Test at Sydney where Broad had the left-hander in his pocket with a trademark outswinger pouched at second slip.

Warner also fell to Broad in the next Test at Hobart after holing out to Ollie Pope at point.

Broad had Warner's number throughout the series, dismissing him seven times across 10 innings as the tactic of bowling from round the wicket left the usually tenacious top-order batter hesitant of where his off-stump was.

Warner managed just 95 runs across the five Tests at a meagre average of just 9.5 in a torrid tour.

Broad was England's leading wicket-taker in the series (23) and even ended up with a higher batting average (12.2) than Warner.

Less than two years earlier and it was Warner who held the upper hand in the head-to-head contest.

Broad had a poor series by his lofty standards with just 11 wickets across the whole series while Warner amassed 441 runs at 63.

He was dismissed by the likes of Jake Ball, Craig Overton and even Joe Root but not once by Broad.

Broad was the leading wicket-taker on either side with 21 dismissals at 20.9 but he was never able to dislodge Warner, who amassed 418 at 46.44.

Even in Broad's career-best eight for 15 at Trent Bridge which swung a see-saw series England's way, it was Mark Wood who prised out Warner.

After months of being baited by the Australian media for his memorable refusal to walk in the series opener between the teams, Broad accounted for Warner en route to recording six for 81.

While Warner nicked off in the second innings to Broad, it came after the Australian's belligerent 124 gave his side the upper hand.

Broad got him twice more in the series where he took 21 wickets, a rare bright spot in England's 5-0 whitewash defeat. Warner was key to the result after racking up 523 runs at 58.11.

Warner made his Ashes debut in the third Test at Old Trafford, just weeks after being hit with a suspension for an unprovoked attack on Joe Root in a Birmingham nightclub.

Warner's rivalry with the fast bowler who would go on to become his tormentor began in the next Test at Chester-le-Street when he was castled for a duck in the first innings.

It was the only time in the series Warner fell to Broad, whose 11 for 121 in the north east remains his career-best match figures.
