Jonathan Trott's duck in the second innings in Grenada will not cost him his spot for England's third Test against West Indies, coach Peter Moores has hinted.
England won the second Test by nine wickets on Saturday but Trott's second scoreless innings of the series was a blot on the final day for the tourists, as the veteran's return to top-class cricket remained less than stellar.
Trott chopped onto his own stumps from a Shannon Gabriel delivery in England's second over, leaving him with three failures (0, 1, 0) from the first two Tests.
The 34-year-old batsman scored 59 in the first innings in Grenada for his only decent score but that looks to be enough to retain his position for the third Test in Barbados, which starts on Friday.
"I thought Trott played really well in the first innings," Moores told Cricinfo.
"I think he played beautifully. In the second innings, he got out to his third or fourth ball. It happens. It can happen to anyone.
"But what we saw in the first innings was Jonathan Trott playing like Jonathan Trott. I think he would admit that in [the first Test in] Antigua he hadn't quite got himself where he wanted to be.
"I don't think his temperament changed, for me it was more of a technical thing. He was overbalancing in Antigua so he wasn't quite getting where he wanted to be with the ball.
"He sorted that out, and I thought the partnership between him and [Alastair] Cook was a really good partnership. So I think he'll come out of that Test match thinking: 'Yeah, actually I feel in good nick. I feel like I've got myself going'."
The first match of England's three-Test series against West Indies earlier this month ended a 17-month international hiatus for Trott, who left the Ashes Tour of Australia in vague circumstances.
It was claimed Trott was suffering from depression, but he later denied that suggestion.
