England vs India witnessed a heated clash between the players of both sides during the last over of Day 3 of the third Test. After dismissing India for 387, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett came to open the second innings, but what happened next left everyone talking. As Jasprit Bumrah marked his run-up for what turned out to be the last over of the day, Zak Crawley suddenly pulled out of his stance and tried to waste time.

It didn’t go well with Bumrah as well as the rest of the Indian players. India skipper Shubman Gill asked Crawley to show some guts rather than wasting time. The matter didn’t stop there. During the fifth ball of the over, Bumrah banged one in and Crawley was hit on his glove. The England opener was quick to call out for a physio. This left the Indian team even more frustrated, and things started heating up.

Gill ran up to Crawley to mock him, and the English batter clearly didn’t like it and gave it back to the Indian skipper. Crawley's partner, Ben Duckett, also got involved and had a heated conversation with the Indian skipper. Somehow, the first over finished, but it turned out to be the last over of the day. If the English openers hadn’t wasted the time, Indian bowlers might have had one more shot at them. This Shubman Gill fight stole the spotlight of the entire day.

Shubman Gill Virat Kohli-like Approach

Shubman Gill Lords fight brought some much-needed interest into this game. This incident reminded fans of the former India captain Virat Kohli's aggression. Kohli changed the style of Indian cricket, giving the entire team an aggressive touch, which was much needed. However, with aggression, it's also important not to lose your calm and stay focused on the game. That's why Kohli was so successful as a batter and as a captain in Test cricket.

Gill has already shown what he can do with the bat in the series. The right-handed batter piled up 585 runs in the first two Tests of the series, including three centuries, one of which was a double hundred. However, he couldn't contribute much in the first innings of the ongoing third Test, departing after scoring just 16 runs.

Lord's Test Moving Towards Interesting Finish

That said, there's still plenty of cricket left in this Test. Both teams have completed their first innings, and interestingly, both ended up scoring 387 runs. Now it's up to the English batters, what target they will give to the Indian team. The Three Lions were a bit sluggish in their first innings; however, they'd like to get back to their basics and play with their ‘Bazball’ approach.

On the other hand, the Indian bowlers would like to wrap up the England batting order as quickly as they can. But it would require a collective effort from all the bowlers. All eyes will once again be on Jasprit Bumrah on Day 4, who took a five-wicket haul in the first innings. But one thing's for sure, the stage is set for a magnificent Test match tomorrow. Not just that, the eyes will also be on the fiery exchange involving Shubman Gill Zak Crawley. It'd be interesting to see who will emerge as the winner, or if it will end up in a draw.
