Prior and McKay shine in drawMatt Prior brought up his first century of the tour and enjoyed some valuable time in the middle, but England's tour match fizzled out to a drizzly draw at the MCG. Despite both captains declaring early in the first innings in an attempt to manufacture a result, the players shook hands with England still 100 short of their target in fading light, ending a grey day that was regularly interrupted by rain.
Prior finished unbeaten on 102 and Andrew Strauss, who batted at No. 8 to allow other men a chance for some time at the crease, was on 22. The morning began with an overnight declaration from Cameron White, setting England 311 for victory, which appeared a generous move until the wet weather drifted across the ground.
