Cricket: Prior targets Lord's victory

Matt Prior is determined to get back to winning ways when England take on New Zealand in this month's two-Test series.

The 31-year-old wicketkeeper, who has won the England Cricketer of the Year award for 2012-13, is looking forward to the first Test against the Black Caps, which is scheduled to start at Lord's on Thursday. However, Prior knows it won't be easy after England's three Tests in New Zealand earlier this year were all drawn. England are 10/11 with bet365 to win the first Test while the draw is available at 5/4. Prior said: "This series is massive. We had a tough series in New Zealand and we want to put in good performances and get a win. "Winning is a habit and you want to get in that habit as soon as possible. Our best preparation, whether it be the Ashes, India or New Zealand, is winning Test matches and we want to start on Thursday."
