STUART BROAD is on the hunt for his final ball in Test cricket after calling time on his career last week.

The England legend finished on a heartwarming note by taking the last two wickets in his side’s Ashes Fifth Test win over Australia.

Jonny Bairstow’s catch prompted pandemonium among fans at The Oval.

And Broad was the man of the hour following his fairytale finish.

But what actually happened to his final ball itself remains a mystery, and one that the Nottinghamshire ace would love to solve.

Chatting to the Mail, he said: “I’m still trying to locate the ball.

“I don’t know whether Bairstow just threw it up in the air or the umpires have got it, or whatever, but I’m still on the hunt for it.

“I have put in enquiries, because it would be nice to have it.”

Despite only finishing his playing career last week, Broad has already embarked on his new vocation as a pundit.

He has signed up to work for Sky Sports on The Hundred.

But his punditry career got off to an inauspicious start last Wednesday, when he was denied access to Lord’s.

Broad tried to use his player accreditation to get in, but failed as he had already been deactivated from the ECB system.

Despite his initial hiccup, Broad is more comfortable working in punditry than he would be waltzing around on Strictly Come Dancing.

Shutting down rumours that he’d be appearing on the popular BBC show this autumn, he said: “One, I can’t dance and two, I quite like the idea of not training for something now.”
