Day 3 of the Lord’s Test ended in drama as England’s Zak Crawley delayed play, prompting India captain Shubman Gill’s fiery reaction. Gill, frustrated by Crawley’s time-wasting tactics, expressed his displeasure audibly, while England bowling coach Tim Southee criticized Gill’s hypocrisy, referencing Gill’s own mid-day massage on Day 2. KL Rahul defended Crawley’s move, calling it understandable from an opener’s perspective. With six minutes left, India hoped to bowl two overs and snatch a late wicket, but Crawley’s theatrics denied them the chance. Southee dismissed the controversy as “part of the game,” highlighting the intensity and spirit of the match as both sides remained animated in a hard-fought contest. (PC: NDTV & Mint)
