India were dismissed for 387 late on Day 3, leaving just six minutes to bowl at England before stumps. The Indian players returned to the field to make the most of the remaining time. However, Zak Crawley was determined to face only one over and deliberately slowed down play before the day ended.
Shubman Gill confronted Crawley with angry words and gestures. The India captain reportedly shouted, “Grow some f****ng balls.” After facing five balls, Crawley called for the physio due to a finger injury, ensuring no second over could be bowled before stumps.
