Indian ire raised bytrott actions
standstill two-thirds of the way down the pitch.
Asked about India’s frustrations toward Trott, Ashwin said: “It was just one or two words exchanged.
“It was just about the shot that he got away, a rolling ball. It just seemed to us it was a little innocuous.
“When you talk about gamesmanship and sportsmanship I think you should hold by yourself to actually expect the same from opponents.”
Trott also drew the ire of the home team on 43, when seamer Ishant Sharma and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni were convinced they had Trott caught-behind cutting, only for umpire Kumar Dharmasena to disagree.
Finally, deep into the evening session, Ashwin was exasperated by Trott backing up too far at the non-striker’s end and stopped in his delivery stride to warn he could run him out.

Dundee CCS Stars were last night trying to find dates for re-staging their home clash with Sheffield.
The Yorkshire-based title contenders were due on Tayside last night but the Steelers’ bus broke down at Gretna.
They phoned Dundee and said a replacement bus would arrive in the Borders at 5pm.
Dundee considered the options but decided to call the fixture off.
Club director Charlie Ward said: “We were at the ice rink and fans understood when we told them but one Sheffield fan turned up.
“We told him and he thought it was a wind-up but we were deadly serious and now we’re trying to find a date, possibly in February.”
Sami Ryhanen, the club’s top marksman and also points gatherer, would have missed the match through injury.
Ward said: “We were disappointed at losing 3-1 in Sheffield on Saturday as we pushed them all the way.
“They scored with an empty net goal late on and you have to applaud the guys for that effort.”
Stars’ dogged performance kept them in the game until late on with Tristan Harper levelling the scores at 1-1 for Stars.
