‘Get some balls': India fuming over England's last gasp ‘s***housery'
The third day of the Lord's Test ended in dramatic scenes on Saturday, with Indian captain Shubman Gill left fuming at the time-wasting antics of England's openers. After India was bowled out for 387 late in the evening session, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett were tasked with surviving a tricky ten-minute passage of play before stumps. Before the third delivery of Jasprit Bumrah's first over, Crawley backed away late in the speedster's run-up, motioning at apparent movement behind the bowler's arm. But Gill and Bumrah were not convinced. 'Get some balls, grow some f***ing balls,' Gill yelled at Crawley from the slips cordon. Bumrah's fifth delivery struck Crawley on the glove, with the opener shaking his hand and calling for medical assistance from the team physio — which prompted pandemonium in the middle. India's players swarmed Crawley as Gill and Duckett got into a heated confrontation with plenty of finger pointing, forcing umpire intervention. 'Proper s***housery. Love it,' former England bowler Steven Finn tweeted. Crawley's antics worked, with England's openers only needing to face six deliveries before stumps were called, with the hosts 0-2. Always annoying when you can't get another over in before close ðŸ™' — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 12, 2025 Absolute cinema at Lord's. — Subhayan Chakraborty (@CricSubhayan) July 12, 2025 Former England batter Jonathan Trott later criticised Gill's behaviour, telling JioHotstar: 'I don't like the action, as a captain, you set the tone. 'Pointing fingers and getting a bit confrontational, very much like the previous captain, getting in the face of the opposition.' When asked about the final-over drama, England team consultant Tim Southee responded: 'I don't know what they (Indians) were complaining about when Shubman is lying down all the time taking a massage.' Earlier, KL Rahul made a century and Ravindra Jadeja a third-successive fifty as India equalled England's 387. India were in command while opener Rahul and the dynamic Rishabh Pant (74) shared a fourth-wicket stand of 141. But both batsmen fell either side of lunch on the third day to leave India's first innings in the balance at 5-254. Jadeja and fellow all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, however, kept England at bay with a stand of 72 in 27 overs. But India were unable to surpass England's first-innings total in the latest sign of just how evenly matched the teams are in a five-match series currently level at 1-1. India were poised to bat through the morning session without losing a wicket. But, in the last over before lunch, Pant was needlessly run-out by England captain Ben Stokes' direct hit from cover-point as he tried to get Rahul, 98 not out at the interval, back on strike to complete his century before the break. Rahul did get to a hundred but was out edging off-spinner Shoaib Bashir to slip off the next ball he faced. On another hot and energy-sapping day at Lord's, India resumed on 3-145. Rahul was 53 not out with wicketkeeper Pant, off the field for much of England's innings following a finger injury, unbeaten on 19. There had been joyous scenes at Lord's on Friday when Jofra Archer marked his return to Test cricket following more than four years of injury-induced exile with a third-ball dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal. But Archer's first ball Saturday was glanced fine for four by left-hander Pant as the express fast bowler strayed in line. Three balls later, Pant carved Archer over the infield as he flayed an 87 mph delivery on a good length in front of square for four. Rahul then drove Brydon Carse for four and later glanced, square-cut and clipped the fast bowler for three more elegant boundaries in successive deliveries. Pant who scored twin hundreds in India's defeat in the first Test at Headingley and a quickfire 65 in a series-levelling win at Edgbaston, completed a 55-ball fifty in style by hooking all-rounder Stokes for six. After lunch, Rahul's quick single saw him to a 176-ball hundred, including 13 fours -- his 10th century in 61 Tests and second at Lord's after the 33-year-old's 129 in 2021. But Rahul's next ball proved his undoing when, pushing forward to a well-flighted Bashir delivery, he edged to Harry Brook at slip. After tea, Reddy (30) gloved a near-unplayable, sharply-rising ball from Stokes to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith, with India now 326-6. Jadeja went to his half-century by driving part-time off-spinner Joe Root for four -- the newly-promoted number six's third consecutive 50-plus score after innings of 89 and 69 not out at Edgbaston. Soon afterwards, Jadeja lofted Root for six before he was 'strangled' down the legside by Chris Woakes. Tailender Akash Deep, who narrowly avoided twice being lbw in three balls to Woakes, whipped the first ball of Archer's new spell for a six over long leg in the manner of a top-order batsman. Deep then fell as Brook took a blinding catch at slip off Carse, before Woakes saw off Bumrah immediately after India tied the scores and Washington Sundar (23) skied Archer to Brook at long stop.
