    "editor1": "<p><span style=\"font-family:verdana\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Southampton, July 31 (IANS) Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni Thursday confirmed that India&#39;s hero in the historic win at Lord&#39;s, Ishant Sharma, who was ruled out from the third Test, will miss the crucial fourth Test at Manchester starting Aug 7.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:verdana\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Ishant was a last minute omission in the third Test that India lost by 266 runs at the Rose Bowl here Thursday, enabling the hosts in levelling the five-match series 1-1.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:verdana\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">The injured pacer was replaced by debutant Pankaj Singh, who failed to pick up even a single wicket in the 47 overs he bowled in both the innings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:verdana\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">&quot;Definitely he won&#39;t be fit for the next game,&quot; Dhoni said during the post-match presentation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:verdana\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">&quot;Never really had a discussion with our physio, but as of now he won&#39;t be available for the fourth Test match.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:verdana\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">England&#39;s part-time spinner Moeen Ali was the hero of the day picking up his maiden six-wicket haul but Dhoni put the blame on some poor batting for India&#39;s downfall.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:verdana\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">&quot;I don&#39;t think we played good cricket over here but at the same time I think we played the fast bowlers well,&quot; Dhoni said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:verdana\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">&quot;Moeen, I think, bowled well but, still, we let him bowl well. It is very important to be positive against the spinner, especially when there is not much on offer. I think he bowled very good lines. If you keep defending, one odd ball will turn because there is considerable amount of wear and tear on the wicket.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:verdana\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">&quot;There were quite a few (soft dismissals), the phase where Jinks (Rahane) got out, a couple of other wickets that fell, that really had a big impact on the game. It was not only that half an hour, I think even last night, the last session really had a big impact on the game because we lost quite a few wickets, and quite a few of them were quite soft dismissals, and if we were in a good position last night, not losing those two or three wickets, definitely then you look at it in a different way,&quot; said the Indian captain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
