Umpiring controversies and a verbal exchange marred the third day of the second Test at Trent Bridge as India again dominated England.

At the close England were 43 for no loss in their second innings, trailing by 240 runs, after India had been bowled out for 481.

India’s Sachin Tendulkar was adjudged lbw for 91 to a ball which appeared set to miss his off-stump while Sourav Ganguly may also have been unlucky to be given out caught behind down the leg-side.

Both on-field umpires Simon Taufel and Ian Howell had to intervene in the evening session when India’s number nine batsman Zaheer Khan and Kevin Pietersen in the gully exchanged words.

India are seeking their first Test series win in England for 21 years while England captain Michael Vaughan, who has never lost a home series as captain or player, will be determined to preserve his record in the three-match series.
