A bottle cork was hurled at India's first innings centurion KL Rahul from the spectators stand during the pre-lunch session on the third day of the second Test against England, here on Saturday.

It was after the fourth delivery of Shami's over that Rahul, who was fielding near the boundary ropes, was targeted. India skipper Virat Kohli wasn't pleased with the incident and instructed Rahul to throw it outside.

The game was briefly halted as Indian players were seen talking to umpires Michael Gough and Richard Illingworth. It couldn't be confirmed whether this was just an informal way of drawing the umpire's attention or a formal complaint.
