The tension escalated when England walked out for their second innings with just over five minutes remaining in the day’s play. India turned to Jasprit Bumrah, hoping he could complete his over before the cutoff time, giving them a chance to squeeze in another over at the exhausted openers. However, Zak Crawley repeatedly disrupted Bumrah’s rhythm and delayed his run-up in a bid to waste as much time possible.
Ahead of the third ball, Crawley pulled away twice from his stance, gardening down the track and then sighting sight screen issue. The Indian captain could then be seen walking up from the slips, making a gesture with his hands while the stump mic picked him up saying,
“Grow some f****** ba**s!!”
Then again before the penultimate delivery, Crawley walked off the crease to tap the pitch in the middle which further instigated the Indian players. The situation worsened when the fifth ball struck Crawley on the finger and he immediately signalled for a physio. The Indians responded with sarcastic claps to Crawley’s efforts at time wasting as Gill suddenly approached the batter and pointed at the pavilion, possibly urging him to head off for the day.
Crawley responded with some words and non-striker Ben Duckett also got involved, standing very close to Gill as they seemingly had a heated exchange. After the final ball, Duckett had a few more words while his partner headed straight for the dugout.
Watch the video of the incident below.

Speaking about the match, after both teams scored the same runs in their respective first innings – 387, England just added two runs to take a slender lead at Stumps on Day 3.
Notably, this isn’t the first time in the series, England has come under the radar for time wasting. During the second Test at Edgbaston, Harry Brook could be seen taking extra time to get ready between deliveries, constantly stepping away, adjusting his gear and helmet, and slowing the game’s rhythm before Rishabh Pant called him out.
