Prior apologises after glass scatters on Lord's members

England wicketkeeper Matt Prior has been reprimanded by the International Cricket Council after a window was smashed in the dressing room at Lord's on the final day of the second Test.

Prior apologised to a female spectator who was cut by shattered glass after he accidentally broke a window in the pavilion.

The England wicketkeeper was frustrated after being run out cheaply against Sri Lanka.

A statement from the sport's world governing body read: "England wicketkeeper Matt Prior has been reprimanded for breaching the ICC code of conduct during his team's Test match against Sri Lanka at Lord's.

"Prior accepted the Level 1 charge and the proposed sanction from Javagal Srinath of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees after an incident where a window was broken in the England team dressing room.

"He was found to have breached clause 2.1.2 of the code which relates to 'abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an international match'.

"The charge was brought by on-field umpires Billy Doctrove and Rod Tucker as well as third umpire Aleem Dar and fourth official Richard Illingworth."

Bob Willis says Stuart Broad should be the man to miss out in the third Test against Sri Lanka.

Paul Allott and his panel are back to bring you the stories behind this week's cricket headlines.
