The Pakistan Cricket Board are considering legal action against England batsman Jonathan Trott after his heated clash with Wahab Riaz..The pair were involved in an angry bust-up ahead of the fourth one-day international at Lord's. Trott allegedly asked Pakistan bowler Riaz 'How much are you going to make from the bookies today?' Riaz then made a comment about a member of Trott's family before the pair threw batting pads at each other. 
The altercation ended with Trott grabbing Riaz by the throat and the prospect of an all-out fight was only averted by England batting coach Graham Gooch, who pushed Trott away before putting an arm around the Pakistani.
PCB chairman Ijaz Butt - who in a separate incident has been threatened with legal action by England unless he apologises for claiming their threw the third one-day match - is believed to have discussed the possibility of filing legal action against Trott for his outburst.
Angry: Wahab Riaz had to be separated from Trott by England batting coach Graham Gooch. According to PCB sourcess: 'There is a strong likelihood that the PCB, in a tit-for-tat response to the threat by the England and Wales Cricket Board to sue Butt over his remarks against English players, will go after Trott.'

On Thursday, the ECB demanded a 'full and unreserved apology' from Butt for his allegations that England players had fixed the third one-day match.
Butt claimed that there had been 'loud and clear talk in bookies' circles that some English players were paid enormous amounts of money to lose the match.'
Pakistan Test captain Salman Butt and team-mates Mohammad Amaer and Mohammad Asif were suspended earlier in the tour after a News of the World investigation claimed that they had arranged for no-balls to be deliberately bowled during the fourth Test at Lord's.
