IND vs ENG, 3rd Test: Jonathan Trott accuses Shubman Gill of ‘acting,' draws parallels with Virat Kohli's theatrics
Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill Former England cricketer Jonathan Trott has slammed India captain Shubman Gill for gesticulating towards Zak Crawley and shouting an expletive in his direction in the last over of Day 3 of the Lord's Test. Opener Zak Crawley repeatedly delayed bowler Jasprit Bumrah and called for a physio after being hit on the finger, successfully ensuring that he and Ben Duckett had to face only one over before the close of play, instead of two. Crawley's time-wasting tactics infuriated Gill and his teammates. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Gill pointed his finger at Crawley and told him to 'grow some f***ing balls.' Duckett quickly intervened, positioning himself between them, but the verbal exchange continued. A ball later, Gill rushed to Crawley and held his arms up in an X. Crawley responded by waving a finger at Gill. Trott compared Gill's antics to those of former India captain Virat Kohli. 'We don't know what went on when England were fielding, whether they were dishing it out. But I don't like the acting from Shubman Gill; as a captain, you set the tone,' Trott said on JioCinema. Why Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah lost their cool in last five minutes of Day 3 vs England 'Pointing fingers and getting very confrontational — very much like a previous captain — getting in the face of the opposition. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 목주름 방치하면 '이렇게' 됩니다 뷰앤디 더 알아보기 Undo 'I'm all for being competitive and tough on the field, but sometimes you have to rise above it.

KL Rahul racked up his second hundred at the iconic Lord's before India matched England's first-innings total of 387 on an attritional day, leaving the game on an even keel on a deteriorating pitch. Poll Do you think Shubman Gill's reaction towards Zak Crawley was justified? Yes, he was right to confront Crawley. No, he should have kept his cool. Besides Rahul's high-quality effort (100 off 177), Ravindra Jadeja (72 off 131) and Rishabh Pant (74 off 112) propped up India's first-innings total. It will be a challenge for India to bat last on a surface where the odd ball is taking off after pitching and is offering some turn.

WATCH: Shubman Gill in Virat Kohli mode, tears into Zak Crawley for on-field DRAMA at Lord's, Video goes viral
WATCH: Shubman Gill in Virat Kohli mode, tears into Zak Crawley for on-field DRAMA at Lord's, Video goes viral New Delhi: The third Test match between India and England is being played at Lord's. On July 12, India captain Shubman Gill lashed out at England opener Zak Crawley in the last moments of the third day. When England's second innings began, Gill wanted his fast bowlers to bowl two overs, but Crawley was repeatedly delaying. Furious at this, Gill told him – 'Grow some b**ls!' When and why did Shubman Gill get angry? While Jasprit Bumrah was bowling the first over of England's second innings for India, Zak Crawley was wasting time repeatedly pulling himself back. It was fixed that two overs would be bowled in the last moments of the day, but Crawley's delay made just one possible. This is why Gill was angry. What did Gill say and how did the reaction happen? During Bumrah's over, when Crawley repeatedly backed down and then called the physio after the ball hit his gloves, the Indian players expressed displeasure. Gill himself approached Crawley and sarcastically asked – 'Are you okay?' Also making the 'X' sign indicated that maybe Crawley wants to be a retired hurt now. To this, Crawley responded by pointing a finger as well and the two got into a heated exchange. Who were involved in this controversy? Mohammed Siraj and KL Rahul also joined the incident and they also left words at the English batsmen. Crawley pairing Ben Duckett tried to defuse the situation and drove Gill back. The audience also played their part in this whole drama by clapping and hooting. Ball by ball: What happened in the over? On the first two balls of Jasprit Bumrah's over, Crawley took and played runs, but from the third to the sixth balls they either survived or played defensive. He was hit in the hand on the fifth ball, which stopped the game and called for a physio. The last ball was brilliant which Zak Crawley missed and Jurrell caught. This ended the third day in a animated atmosphere. Incase if you missed last few minutes were absolute cinema, acting might give England trophy but Cricket can't without cheating 😄 Shubman Gill resembles King Virat Kohli 🔥#INDVsENGLive #LordsTest — Pawan Mathur (@ImMathur03) July 12, 2025 What did Sunil Gavaskar say? Former captain Sunil Gavaskar sided with Zach Crawley on the incident. 'Opening batsmen do not have the facilities of a nightwatchman and it is natural to be nervous about batting late in the evening,' he said. It was also justified to call a physio after Bumrah injured his hand on the ball. How far ahead are England? England are just two runs ahead of India by the end of the third day. The next two days of the Test match are going to be extremely exciting and the two teams could see a thorny clash.

Shubman Gill accused of acting 'like previous captain' Virat Kohli; Kumble bites back: 'England didn't wanna face one…'
The India vs England third Test (few might say even the series) took a heated turn on the final over of Day 3 at Lord's. India captain Shubman Gill got really furious at England opener Zak Crawley for deliberately wasting time in his bid to make sure England face only one over before Stumps and ended up hurling expletives and making obscene gestures. India captain Shubman Gill arguing with England openers Zak Crawley (L) and Ben Duckett (R) With just six minutes left on the clock, the Indians were confident of bowling two overs before the close of play, but Crawley took 90 seconds to take guard after the umpires had called play. Then the England opener stopped Jasprit Bumrah twice on his run-up. Once because he was not ready and then when he complained of movement behind the sight screen. This really angered the Indian fielders. Gill came close to Crawley from the slip cordon and used the choicest of words, accompanied by hand gestures. After India spearhead Jasprit Bumrah had bowled five balls, Zak Crawley called for the physio in what appeared to be an attempt at time-wasting, although there would have been time for only one more delivery as the clock had already ticked round to the close time of 6:30 pm (1730 GMT). India players swarmed around Crawley, with captain Shubman Gill charging at the England opener and exchanging words. Gill even made an 'Impact Player' sign to suggest that Crawley should be substituted if he was really injured. This time, Crawley snapped back. He was joined by his opening partner Ben Duckett. Gill and Duckett then stood face-to-face, even as KL Rahul said a few words and walked away. The incident had been something of an accident waiting to happen, given the umpires had previously allowed several unscheduled drinks breaks and other delays during India's innings. The upshot was that England only faced one over before they reached stumps narrowly ahead at 2-0. Shubman Gill's Virat Kohli-like behaviour slammed; Anil Kumble bites back at England Former England batter Jonathan Trott accused Shubman Gill of taking things too far with an aggressive charge towards Crawley. Trott indirectly dragged Virat Kohli by likening Gill's behaviour to a "previous Indian captain." A little bit of gamesmanship, but I think England, for me, we don't know what went on when England were fielding, whether they were dishing it out. I don't like the acting from Shubman Gill. I just think as a captain, you set the tone. As I've said before, you know, pointing fingers and getting a little bit confrontational, very much like a previous captain, sort of getting in the face of the opposition. And I just don't think that's what it's about. I think it sets a bad tone. And I'm up for being competitive and being tough on the field. I just think sometimes you've got to rise above it. But, it certainly sets up a nice day for tomorrow," Trott said on JioHotstar after the end of the third day's play. Notably, Kohli was known for always getting in the face of the opposition, and his ultra-aggressive style of captaincy often brought out the best in him. Former India captain Anil Kumble, who was the first coach of Kohli's captaincy tenure, said it appeared like England did not even want to face one over before the close of play. "At the end of 2 and a half Tests, exactly halfway through the series, there's nothing much to differentiate. And yes, you know, from an English point of view, they wanted to just face one over. Probably they didn't want to face a single over, but they ended up, because even Jofra Archer, when he got that wicket, was disappointed that he got a wicket. So, yes, in that sense, it'd be great to watch over the next two days," Kumble said.
