Spurs argued at the award of a Chelsea corner as they believed Joe Cole was offside when Essien took his shotprior to Jonathan Woodgate heading the ball out.
The most attractive shots played by England came in the next few overs, including a fine shot from Prior, who stepped down the track to nonchalantly guide a high-velocity missile from Morne Morkel behind point for four.
The golfer then "tags" his club against the hip-worn device prior to taking a lunge, and every shot from a 300-yard drive to a 5-inch putt is duly noted.
