India's top-order collapsed in hunt of 193.
The end to the penultimate day of the third Test between England and India imitated the end of the third day at Lord’s with the batting and bowling sides exchanging duties. On Day 3 of the match, India had only a few minutes left to pack in as many overs as they could. But Zak Crawley’s constant pausing for sight-screen adjustment and getting some medical attention left Indian captain Shubman Gill fuming.
Even though just one over was possible at the end of the third day, there was so much drama and words hurled at each other between Indian fielders, bowler Jasprit Bumrah, and England’s opening pair of Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett.

New Zealand won by 21 runs
Gill was in Crawley’s face, both wagging their fingers at each other while others joined in. KL Rahul was seen telling Duckett to back off after he walked up to face Gill.
The frustrations spilled over to Day 4. The fired-up Indians dismissed England for 192 after both sides posted the same total of 387 in the first innings. Mohammed Siraj celebrated in Duckett’s face after getting his wicket, while Ben Stokes got no attention from Rahul after being hit in the groin by Bumrah’s peaking delivery.
The back and forth continued till the end of Day 4. England removed four wickets, with the last three wickets of Karun Nair, Gill, and night watchman Akash Deep falling in the final 30 minutes.
Crawley was fielding near the boundary. He moved into the slip cordon to sledge Rahul, which the opener didn’t take kindly. Both had an argument as Duckett tried to calm things down.
Then Brydon Carse, in the middle of a fiery spell, was taunted by Akash to hurry up with his bowling when things exploded. With the crowd jeering the visitors, Stokes copied his counterpart Gill and gave it back to Rahul by clapping.
ALSO READ:
With Carse’s spell coming to an end, Stokes put himself up to the task of ending the day on a high. He accomplished it with the wicket of Deep with a seaming delivery that uprooted the off-stump.
Despite losing four wickets, India still have the chance to win the match and make it 2-1 for the series. Rahul is unbeaten on 33 with four more recognised batters still to bat, with 135 runs needed in the match.
However, one spell could derail the entire chase with Carse and Stokes both fired up from their evening exploits.
