This day that year: Remembering Ishant Sharma's 7/74 and India's historic triumph at Lord's

#4th wicket - Matt Prior

England v India: 2nd Investec Test - Day Five
Prior could not resist a 'pull'

After a successful plan with the short ball, Sharma was asked to use it often. Butt English wicket-keeper Matt Prior was clever enough to play the short balls down the ground, or don't play at all.

Sharma then came round the wicket, banged the ball short, and for no good reason, Prior opted for a pull. Again an example of superb captaincy by Dhoni, as the ball went towards deep mid-wicket, where Murali Vijay was placed. Vijay, known for his safe pair of hands, never looked like he will drop the catch.
