Jaiswal's Redemption Catch, Reddy's Send-Off To Crawley, Full Drama At Lord's: Watch
Yashasvi Jaiswal redeemed himself with a sharp catch at gully to dismiss Zak Crawley off Nitish Reddy's bowling, triggering a spirited celebration at Lord's. Yashasvi Jaiswal redeemed himself on Sunday in what was a jubilant moment for India in the ongoing third India vs England Test at the home of cricket– Lord's. Zak Crawley, whose time-wasting act on Saturday evening left the Indians fuming, was dismissed by all-rounder Nitish Reddy in the morning session of the fourth day, and it was Jaiswal who grabbed a sharp catch at gully. Though Jaiswal has been among runs coming to England, he has been getting highly criticized for his sloppy fieldwork since the first Test in Leeds. But the 23-year-old didn't make any mistakes on Sunday. Crawley looked to drive Reddy's fuller delivery swinging away but ended up nicking it towards gully where Jaiswal pouched it safely. The Indians erupted in joy. While others rushed to congratulate Jaiswal, Reddy was spotted giving an animated send-off to Crawley, whose struggle in the middle ended at 22 runs. An inspired bowling change! 😍 @NKReddy07 gets into the attack & makes an instant impact to get #ZakCrawley caught by @ybj_19! 👏🏻 #ENGvIND 👉 3rd TEST, DAY 4 | LIVE NOW on JioHotstar 👉 — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) July 13, 2025 Zak Crawley's time-wasting act on day 3 Tensions galore at Lord's in the final over of Day 3 when Zak Crawley's time-wasting antics sparked visible frustration in the Indian camp. With just one over left before stumps, Crawley took an unusually long time to take strike, repeatedly adjusting his gear and backing away from the crease. The Indian captain, standing in the slips, was seen exchanging heated words with the England opener, clearly annoyed at the deliberate delay. The incident disrupted the flow of the game and appeared to be a tactical move by Crawley to deny India another over under fading light. The umpires intervened to calm things down, but the exchange reflected the rising intensity between the two sides. A moment that had everyone staring and talking! 👀🗣️Even the commentators, #PadamjeetSehrawat & #VarunAaron, were left going 😮🧐😲😬 after that last-over drama on Day 3 at Lord's! #ENGvIND 👉 3rd TEST, DAY 4 | SUN, 13th JUL, 2.30 PM on JioHotstar — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) July 13, 2025 England scored 2 runs in the first over after India were bowled out for 387, levelling the first-inning score with the hosts. view comments First Published: July 13, 2025, 17:08 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Playing Xizang Card…': China Says Dalai Lama Succession Thorn In Ties With India
Last Updated: China said India should be aware that the Dalai Lama's reincarnation and succession is an "inherently internal affair of China, brooking no interference of any external forces" Ahead of External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's visit to China – the first time since the Galwan clashes in 2020 – China on Sunday said the succession of Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, is a thorn in its relations with India. The Chinese embassy in New Delhi said India should be 'fully cognizant" to the sensitive nature of issues related to 'Xizang' – a term used by China to refer to Tibet – and that the reincarnation and succession of the Dalai Lama is an 'inherently internal affair of China, brooking no interference of any external forces". 'In reality, Xizang-related issue is a thorn in China-India relations and has become a burden for India. Playing the 'Xizang card" will definitely end up shooting oneself in the foot," Yu Jing, spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in India, wrote on social media platform X. 🔹It has been noted some people from strategic and academic communities, including former officials, have made some improper remarks on the reincarnation of Dalai Lama, contrary to Indian government's public stance.🔹As professionals in foreign affairs, they should be fully… — Yu Jing (@ChinaSpox_India) July 13, 2025 WHAT DID CHINA SAY ABOUT 'XIZANG'? noted 'some people from strategic and academic communities, including former officials" have made 'improper remarks" on the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. This, Beijing claimed, is 'contrary to Indian government's public stance". ' Yu did not name anyone but in recent days, Indian strategic affairs analysts and a government minister backed the Dalai Lama's remarks on his succession. The Indian government has made political commitments to China and recognises Xizang Autonomous Region as part of the territory of the People's Republic of China, Yu said. It does not allow Tibetans to engage in political activity against China in India, the embassy official added. WHAT IS INDIA'S STANCE? Earlier, too, China had warned India over the 'sensitivity of issues" related to Tibet and the Dalai Lama by using the term 'Xizang' for Tibet. It had said India should avoid interfering in China's internal affairs. It was objecting to remarks made by Union minister Kiren Rijiju, who sat next to the Dalai Lama during the birthday festivities a week ago, and said as a practising Buddhist, he believes only the spiritual guru and his office have the authority to decide on his reincarnation. His remarks seemingly backed the Dalai Lama's statement that China had no role to play in his succession. Calling this 'anti-China separatist nature", Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning called on India to honour its Tibet-related commitments. In response to this, the ministry of external affairs (MEA) had said the central government does not have a position on the succession of the Dalai Lama. It reiterated India's stance of not taking a position on faith or religion. 'Government of India does not take any position or speak on matters concerning beliefs and practices of faith and religion," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, while responding to media queries on July 4. 'The government has always upheld freedom of religion for all in India and will continue to do so." Ahead of celebrations this month for his 90th birthday that were attended by senior Indian ministers, the Dalai Lama riled China again by saying it had no role in his succession. Tibetans believe the soul of any senior Buddhist monk is reincarnated after his death, but China says the succession will also have to be approved by its leaders. The Dalai Lama has been living in exile in India since 1959 following a failed uprising against Chinese rule in Tibet, and Indian foreign relations experts said his presence gives New Delhi leverage against China. India is also home to about 70,000 Tibetans and a Tibetan government-in-exile. (With agency inputs) Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
