Gill’s outburst and on-field drama light up Day 3 at Lord’s

London, July 13: Usually known for his composure, Shubman Gill was at the centre of an unexpected on-field flashpoint during the final over of Day 3 of the Lord’s Test between India and England. As tensions boiled over in the last few minutes of play, the Indian batter shocked viewers with an expletive-laden outburst that captured the high-stakes drama unfolding at the historic venue. The day began in subdued fashion with India starting strong in response to England’s 387. However, no one anticipated the fiery climax that would unfold as England batted out a tense final over, levelling the scores and ending the day at 2/0. Tempers flare in Bumrah’s over It was during Jasprit Bumrah’s first over with the new ball that frustration reached its peak. England opener Zak Crawley, after taking a double, delayed the game multiple times — citing issues with the sight screen and then calling for medical attention after a delivery struck his glove. The repeated pauses irked the Indian camp. Caught by the stump mic, Gill, fielding at second slip, shouted “Grow some f**** bas” at Crawley — a rare moment of visible anger from the otherwise calm cricketer. Bumrah’s displeasure was also evident, and fielders joined in with sarcastic claps when Crawley summoned the physio. As Crawley looked to stretch the final over and deny India an extra one before stumps, Gill walked up to him and gestured towards the pavilion, hinting he should walk off if he wasn’t fit. Non-striker Ben Duckett stepped in to ease tensions, but the over remained tense, with Bumrah firing in short, sharp deliveries aimed at unsettling the batters. Drama overshadows gripping cricket The drama overshadowed what had been a closely contested day of Test cricket. India, replying to England’s 387, posted the exact same total, thanks to a composed century from KL Rahul, and valuable contributions from Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja. However, Jadeja’s dismissal triggered a collapse, with the final three Indian wickets falling for just 11 runs. England now lead by 2 runs with all ten wickets intact, setting up Day 4 as a potential turning point in the match. With both sides tied at 387 and the surface offering bounce and movement, fans can expect more fireworks — both on and off the pitch.
