The lanky pacer, who was unwell before the first Test at Ahmedabad, and was not picked for the second Test in Mumbai as India went in with three frontline spinners, was not averse to digging the ball in short.

And it was a short ball that accounted for the wicket of Compton who nervously edged it to Dhoni.

It was only the third time that India had managed to break the opening stand between Compton and Cook below 30 and the second successive time in single figures after the second innings in Kolkata when the visitors lost their captain early

in pursuit of a small target and lost two more wickets before winning the game.

Trott, lucky not to be given out leg before off Ishant when he was struck in line with the off stump while he was on six.
