After coming in with England on 91-1, Trott needed 64 runs to match the feat of teammate Kevin Pietersen and West Indies great Viv Richards of making it to 1,000 runs in his first 21 innings.

The South African-born No. 3 reached the mark with two off spinner George Dockrell’s first ball of the 37th over, and went on to make 92 at exactly a run a ball before being bowled by John Mooney — leaving England on 288-4 with a little over five overs left.

The 29-year-old Trott, who only made his one-day debut against Ireland in August 2009, hit just nine fours in a typically unflashy innings built on singles and twos.
