Pietersen vs Indians: Sledging, Beamers and Controversy - 2nd Test, 2007

Controversy from Trent Bridge, July 2007.

The umpires (Taufel and Howell) were forced to intervene after Zaheer advanced on Pietersen brandishing his bat as tempers frayed on the third evening of the second Test - shades of the infamous Lillee and Miandad exchange from the 80's.

This confrontation boiled over when Zaheer edged his first ball past a diving Pietersen in the gully and away for four. Words were exchanged - centred on the quality of the shot - and when Zaheer began heatedly pointing his bat in Pietersen's direction, umpire Ian Howell walked over from square-leg to calm everyone down.

Srishanth then bowled a beamer at Pietersen when he came into bat.
