Lee strikes again

Matt Prior had no answer to a 90mph yorker from Brett Lee as England lost their fourth wicket at Lord's in the fourth ODI of the NatWest Series.

Prior (29) could not get his bat down in time as the ball swung in and cleaned up his off stump to give Lee his second wicket of the innings.

It left the hosts on 146 for four after winning the toss, with skipper Andrew Strauss having made 63, Ravi Bopara 26 and Joe Denly 11.

The hosts had moved on to 29 when Denly, making his first appearance of the series after being injured by a tackle by Owais Shah in that infamous pre-match kickabout before the first match at the Oval, was dismissed by Lee.

He was replaced in the middle by Ravi Bopara, who scored 26 from 36 balls before off-spinner Nathan Hauritz won a leg before decision.

Hauritz struck again to remove captain Strauss, who got a leading edge and Nathan Bracken held a safe catch, while Lee accounted for Prior with a superb delivery.
