England paceman James Anderson has been the subject of an official complaint by India, it was announced on Tuesday -- just two days before the teams meet for the second Test at Lord's on Thursday.
It is alleged Anderson broke the International Cricket Council (ICC) code of conduct during an incident involving India left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja during the drawn first Test at Nottingham's Trent Bridge last week. (Read:James Anderson Faces Four Test Ban )
It will be down to the ICC to decide what, if any, disciplinary procedure should now ensue.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), in a brief statement, said it had "reacted with surprise" to Anderson being referred for a Level Three breach of the code in what it said was a "minor incident" and promised to cite Jadeja for breaches of the code were action to be taken against their spearhead seamer.
