India’s pacers, led by Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, were visibly frustrated when umpires Paul Reiffel and Chris Gaffaney paused play at Leeds’ Headingley on June 21. Light drizzle prompted the intervention just as England openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley neared the crease, and India’s bowlers Bumrah, Siraj and Rishabh Pant reluctantly trudged off. Ten minutes later, the rain nearly vanished, adding to India’s irritability. Earlier, India posted a stalwart 471 batting first, with centuries from Shubman Gill (147), Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) and Pant (134). England fought back through Josh Tongue and Ben Stokes swing‑bowling India from 471 to 24 for six. (PC: Mint & Hindustan Times)
