For many, it was the first time seeing Gill riled up, animatedly expressing his opinion. However, for Rahul, it wasn't the first instance
It was a dramatic end to day three of the third Test with opener Zak Crawley using the delaying tactic to ensure England only played one over before stumps but the Indians, let by captain Shubman Gill, were hardly amused. Speaking after close of play, England bowling consultant Tim Southee and India opener K L Rahul said the heated exchange between the Indian fielders and the home team openers formed the essence of a hard fought day in Test cricket. Speedster Jasprit Bumrah clapped in sarcasm as Crawley seemingly faked pain in his hand after defending the ball from the middle of the bat. It's good. always exciting to see both sides animated towards the end. Not sure what they were complaining about when Gill was lying down getting a massage in the middle of the day yesterday. it's obviously part of the game. near the end of the day, it's an exciting way to finish the day. Asked about Crawley in jest, South gave a tongue-in-cheek reply. Yeah, he (Crawley) will be assessed overnight
Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels Zak Crawley's time-wasting tactics at the end of the third day of the ongoing third Test was "as good a piece" he has ever seen but said India can't complain as the visitors employed the same approach on second day. Tempers flared up at the end of the third day when India failed to squeeze in another over after England opener Zak Crawley's time-wasting tactics, drawing furious reaction from the visitors led by skipper Shubman Gill. After being bowled out for 387, India had enough time to bowl two overs in the final session on Day 3, but Crawley's tactics of feigning an injury and pulling out on three occasions during Jasprit Bumrah's opening over delayed the proceedings. It meant India had time for just one over, which angered the visitors as England ended day three at 2 for no loss in their second innings. "It's as good a piece of time-wasting I've ever seen," Vaughan was quoted as saying by BBC's Test Match Special podcast. "India can

ENG vs IND 3rd Test HIGHLIGHTS: Tempers were high just before stumps as ENG batters faced just 1 over courtesy of their delaying tactics and now lead by 2 runs.
England openers Crawley and Duckett came out to bat for just one over as they finished the day at 2/0 courtesy of Crawley's delaying tactics that angered the Indian side as well.
The duo put up a 62-run stand in the middle before tea as the likes of Archer, Carse among others failed to take another wicket in the post-lunch session.
After seeing just 75 overs being bowled on day 2 of the third Test between Ben Stokes' side and India at Lord's, an exasperated former England captain Michael Vaughan wanted teams to mandatorily bowl full quota of 90 overs on all five days of a match. India bowled 83 overs on day 1 of the Test, while less than 75 overs could be squeezed in on day 2, leaving a combined shortfall of nearly 23 overs over two days. Vaughan said penalising the teams for slow over-rate was not good enough as the players were "quite rich" and won't be affected by the fines imposed on them. "I don't' think fines work. I think these lads (cricketers) are quite rich. I don't think the cash is going to affect them," opined Vaughan, who played 82 Tests and scored more than 7,500 runs across formats, on BBC Sport. He was at a loss to understand how teams were unable to complete the full quota of overs on the first four days when they managed all 90 overs on the fifth and final day. "(It's) been a problem for T

Bumrah noted a clear difference in quality, recalling how the Dukes ball in 2018 held its shape better and offered consistent swing throughout
Mohammed Siraj, who was bowling in tandem with him, held Bumrah's hand and lifted it for the crowd, prompting a loud cheer
The Dukes ball has copped plenty of criticism from the players in the ongoing India-England Test series but its owner Dilip Jajodia wants the superstars of the game to show more patience and be more reasonable in their approach towards the controversial subject. Speaking to Jajodia on the sidelines of the third Test, said his company with history dating back to the 18th century is open to making improvements on the ball keeping in mind the unusually hot weather in the UK and demands of the modern game where batters are pounding the ball with rather heavy bats. The Dukes was changed twice in the morning session on day three of the Lord's Test here. After getting a 10-over ball changed, the Indian players remained extremely unhappy leading to another change in a matter of minutes. There are only three recognized manufacturers in world cricket (Dukes, SG and Kookaburra). It's not easy (making a cricket ball). And if it was easy, there'd be hundreds and hundreds of manufacturers around
