Trott, moved up the order to open to allow England to play five bowlers, took 33 balls to get off the mark and his reluctance to play any form of sweep to a spin-oriented attack saw the innings grind virtually to a halt.
Even Pietersen, having scampered through for a risky single as is his wont to open his account, scored only one more run in his next 32 balls, before finally stepping down the wicket to loft his first boundary.
