In fact, Vaughan praised his teammates for their effective use of the ploy"to get one up" on the Indian batsmen.
"We are trying to play our cricket with real intensity about it and thatinvolves being a little bit aggressive. It's not untoward in the game ofcricket," Vaughan said at Nottingham, the venue of the second Test.
"We're just trying to hit the pitch hard and hit the right areas and tryand really rally around in the field.
"It's nothing that we haven't done in the past, it's just somethingwe're doing well at the minute."
Wicketkeeper Matt Prior in particular was involved in a lot of chatting onthe fourth day at Lord's, upsetting Indian opener Dinesh Kaarthick's focus onmore than one occasion.

"Most keepers are a pretty similar character. He (Prior) is doing wellat the minute and I guess it's part of his armoury to try and get one up on thebatman," Vaughan said in support of his teammate.
"It wasn't a great deal, just a bit of talking after play, seeing how hewas going to play in the morning, that was all. I didn't hear Kaarthick sayanything.
"It was just a bit of playful banter. You are always trying to put thebatsman off, but it was nothing really."
Vaughan said his side would try and make sure that India's top order batsmenremained in the shackles that the host bowlers had placed around them.

"Our plan is trying to make sure they don't settle, try and attack themearly and that's exactly what we will try and do," he said.
"But we also know with good players they can get through tough periods.We will just try and do what we did at Lord's and try and get them earlyagain."
Vaughan said Chris Tremlett, who made his debut at Lord's, was specificallychosen for the "steep bounce" he could extract from most tracks.
"It (selecting Tremlett) was gut instinct. We decided pretty much afterhis performance in Chelmsford (in the tour match against India)," he said.
"He only got one wicket but we looked at the majority of the overs hebowled and Andrew Strauss was at first slip for most part of the game as well.
"Steve Harmison's (out of action with an injury) bounce to any batsmanin the world is very hard to face, but we felt that Indians in particularweren't as used to the steep bounce as many batsmen because of the wickets theyplay in India.
"It was an instinct that maybe that if his (Tremlett's) bounce could bethe difference between the two sides, particularly if the wicket got flat."
