Jonathan Trott has revealed that Alastair Cook was left feeling dejected after his unusual dismissal on day three of England's third Test in India.

The England captain was run out 10 runs short of his third Test double-hundred as he took evasive action from a throw.

"He was obviously deeply upset and realised what an opportunity he had to still be batting," said Trott. "It's really disappointing for him and the team to get out that way on 190 but he played magnificently well.

"You feel for the guy, he's made a mistake. It's one of those things, a freak dismissal. You'll probably only see it a handful of times, it's unfortunate on such a great stage it's happened to Alastair, we all would have liked him to get 200 but it wasn't to be.

"He didn't really say anything. We just let him stew. He's not one who will express too much emotion or disgust. Deep down I know he'll be very upset, but we're also very happy with the job he did."

England will begin day four in Kolkata 193 runs ahead with four first-innings wickets in hand.
