Watch: Jofra Archer Gives Furious Send-Off To Rishabh Pant At Lord's
Jofra Archer furiously celebrated on Rishabh Pant's face after dismissing him at Lord's in the third Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test. Watch it here.
Jofra Archer gave a furious send-off to Rishabh Pant after getting his wicket at Lord's during the third Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test on Monday (July 14).
It happened in the 21st over of India's innings. On the third ball, Pant had jumped down the crease and carved Archer's ball for a beautiful boundary down the ground. The pacer corrected his length and also targeted the stumps better from thereon. On the fifth ball, he went wide of the crease and angled it straight into the left-hander. The ball came in naturally before seaming away off the pitch to take the top of the off-stump.
Pant was caught trying to defend it straight and before he could understand, Archer was running past him, shouting something angrily in his ears. Watch it all here:

This Test has had some needle in it since the third day, when Shubman Gill and Co. got angry at Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett for what they felt was time-wasting to avoid facing more than one over before Stumps. There was some finger-pointing between Gill and Crawley, a chest-to-chest between Gill and Duckett and a lot of words said by Siraj from his fielding position.
It carried on the fourth day when Siraj sent off Duckett, and Nitish Kumar Reddy did the same to, Crawley. Siraj also landed in trouble because of his act, as the ICC felt that his shoulder barge with Duckett while celebrating was in breach of their Code of Conduct.
'Siraj admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing," a statement from the ICC said.
The two teams were on opposite ends of the time-wasting drama, with Akash Deep trying the same thing before stumps on Day 4. At that time, Ben Stokes went to KL Rahul and clapped — just like Gill did to Crawley — sarcarstically.
India will now need KL Rahul and the all-rounders to take them to victory on a difficult pitch.

India vs Pakistan clash at LA 2028 Olympics unlikely as only 1 Asian team to qualify: Report
Cricket will return to the Olympics at LA 2028 after 128 years. However, only one Asian team is reported to qualify directly for the event. This makes an India vs Pakistan clash highly unlikely. The ICC is set to debate the qualification process at its Singapore AGM. read more Cricket is all set to return to the Olympics after 128 years, with men's and women's T20 events scheduled for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. However, fans hoping for an India vs Pakistan clash might be disappointed. According to Forbes, only one Asian team will directly qualify for the men's event, making it very unlikely that both arch-rivals will feature together. The men's and women's competitions will reportedly have just six teams each. The host nation, the USA, is likely to get an automatic slot, which leaves just five remaining spots. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The report suggests that the ICC is leaning towards a regional qualification model. That means only the top-ranked T20I team from each region - Asia, Oceania, Europe, and Africa - will automatically qualify, while the final spot will be decided through a qualifying tournament. This could mean only one Asian team - likely India, based on their superior ranking - would make it directly, leaving Pakistan to fight for the remaining Olympic place in qualifiers. The ICC is currently debating how qualification should work, with the topic set to be discussed at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Singapore. Also Read: PCB stares at loss of crores if Asia Cup is cancelled: 'Revenues from ICC and Asia Cup are very important' Qualification process stirs debate Some associate members want qualifying tournaments instead of just rankings, saying it would give them a fair chance. Zimbabwe Cricket chair Tavengwa Mukuhlani, who is an ICC board director and also part of the Olympic working group, has urged that the qualifying tournament should be for everyone and not just full members. 'We should really make the most of cricket being in the Olympics and have qualifying tournaments instead of rankings, which don't make sense in terms of trying to develop the sport,' Mukuhlani told Forbes. 'The qualifying tournaments should be for everyone and not just Full Members (cricket's 12 nations who receive the most power and funds). It's fairer and if you look at other major sports, like football and basketball, you see some amazing things happen where underdog nations qualify," he added.

However, they also want inclusivity to be a factor and ensure that the right decision is taken so cricket is made part of the Olympics for good and not just for one edition. 'Discussions will be focused on what is the best option and there is the cost factor to consider, but inclusivity has to be a factor too and it would be great to showcase a curtain raiser before the Olympics,' Sumod Damodar, one of the three Associate member representatives on the Chief Executives' Committee, was quoted as saying. 'We need to make sure the right decision is made for cricket because the sport wants to be part of Brisbane 2032 and beyond. We don't want to be in situations where every four years we are begging for inclusion.' The LA28 Olympic cricket matches will be held at a temporary stadium in Pomona, about 50 km from Los Angeles, from July 12 to 29, 2028. Medal matches will be played on July 20 and 29. The cricket matches at Olympics will begin two days before the start of the main event. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

PITCH FOR THE FOURTH TEST BETWEEN INDIA vs ENGLAND…!!!– A Green Top. [📸: Sahil Malhotra] — Johns.

Manchester Pitch Report: England Great Shares Detailed Insights Into 4th Test Surface
Former England quick Steve Harmison offered a detailed insight into how Manchester's Old Trafford could turn out for the fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England, scheduled to begin on Wednesday, ESPNcricinfo reported. The five-match series is turning out to be a mouth-watering affair with India trailing 1-2 against England, with two Tests remaining. With the series on the line and victory the need of the hour, the fourth Test becomes a do-or-die contest for India. Historically, Manchester has been home to scorching pace and threatening bounce. However, with the passage of time, Old Trafford has lost its mojo and has become a venue for slow-paced play over the past two years. With the rain threat looming over the fourth Test of the five-match series, Harmison hopes that the weather gods unleash a drizzle at the venue to breathe life into the surface, which would offer much more for the pacers. "Old Trafford, if it is going to rain anywhere and it hasn't rained in England for about three months, if it is going to rain anywhere, it will be Manchester as it always does. We could do with some rain because we could do with some lively surface," Harmsion said on ESPNcricinfo Match Day. "The first-class pitches in Manchester in the last 18 months or two years haven't been like they were 10 or 15 years ago. They were bouncy pitches. They were hard and aggressive with a reverse swing. They are all very similar now. They are very slow, very flat," he added. The 46-year-old pondered the best possible combination for both sides. He feels that, with the pitch likely to bear resemblance to the one at Edgbaston (second Test), the pitch is unlikely to bestow pace or bounce. In Birmingham, it was a run-scoring fest as India piled a monstrous 587 in the first innings and then declared at 427/6 in the second. On the final day, India enjoyed much more seam movement and eventually sealed a thumping 336-run victory. "If there is a chance of playing with two spinners, you might play two spinners in Manchester. England won't because they have Liam Dawson. I think it will be a very similar wicket to what we have had at Edgbaston," he said. "At Lord's, where the wicket will break up as the game goes on, and it will probably turn. But I don't see a lot of pace in it, I don't see a lot of bounce on it. I think it possibly could be a low-scoring affair," he added. India's squad for fourth Test: Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant (VC & WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav, Anshul Kamboj. England squad for the 4th Test against India: Ben Stokes (Captain), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes.
