Matt Prior century put England in Winning Position

Matt Prior scored a superb century as England recovered from a dramatic middle-order collapse to lay the platform for a final day victory push against India.When Prior was joined at the wicket by Stuart Broad, England were in deep trouble on 107-6 - their lead just 295 - after an inspired burst from fast bowler Ishant Sharma.But Broad (74 not out) and Prior gradually sucked the life out of a tiring India attack with some aggressive running and, once England's supremacy was beyond question, some riotous hitting.When Prior reached his sixth Test hundred, off 120 balls, Andrew Strauss declared on 269-6, setting India a record 458 to win.
