BRISBANE, Australia — Stuart Broad is confident England can break its three-decade drought at the Gabba, despite conceding a small first-innings deficit and letting the Australians off the hook on day three of the first Ashes test. “After three days we’re probably the best placed England side (here) for 30 years, aren’t we?” Broad said after stumps on Saturday. “So if we have a good tomorrow, we set ourselves up in this test match.”Australia hasn’t lost at test at the Brisbane venue since 1988. England hasn’t won an Ashes test here since 1986, and some defeats since then have been lopsided. The Australians had a big, 381-run win in Brisbane in 2013-14, setting them on course for a 5-0 series sweep.
