With the hosts 1-0 down and facing a must-win match at The Oval on Thursday, they have been told not to overstep the mark by England's two most senior administrators.

Not only has David Collier, chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board, formally spoken to coach Moores about the matter, but mild-mannered ECB chairman David Morgan has also weighed in. In his final Test match before taking over the presidency of the International Cricket Council, Morgan has addressed the subject in this week's match programme notes, seen by Sportsmail. He has issued a thinly-veiled admonishment about what went on in a game remembered for aggravation and, in particular, England's jelly bean prank. 'During the tense moments of the npower series there have been incidents which may have overstepped the mark,' writes Morgan. 'It is important cricket is played not only with such passion and pride, but also in the correct spirit. 'One of the proudest moments of my chairmanship was to receive the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award last October for the way in which the England team had performed and conducted themselves, including the Ashes success. 'That was testimony to the fact that you can play exciting cricket in the most stressful of situations and also uphold the highest standards of behaviour. 'This is a sentiment Peter Moores and his management staff, as well as the England team, will have reflected on in and I am sure the spirit of cricket is something they hold most dear.' Flashpoint: Sreesanth and Vaughan also clashed in the match While India were hardly blameless, Morgan and Collier were concerned about adverse publicity. Collier had meetings with not just Moores, but also match referee Ranjan Madugalle in the evening that followed England's defeat at Trent Bridge. 'With Peter it was purely a reminder of what the responsibilities are to the game,' said Collier on Monday. 'It is incumbent on people to make sure that it gets nipped in the bud. Peter is responsible for discipline and I think he understands the right balance. Some things have been blown out of proportion but at the same time there is a line that must be drawn with certain incidents.' One of those surely refers to the jelly beans, with the culprit now believed to be Ian Bell. Moores is presently in charge of discipline but that may change with the forthcoming introduction of a managing director for the team.

I don't know what the fuss is about. I think they should get over it. I can't believe they are still discussing this and are handing out formal advise.

The english are trying their best to add spice to the situation , keep the emotions up and the temperature on the rise. They are hoping India feel the pressure of a test series victory and crack What is going on is an orchestrated media campaign to ruffle the Indian team.
