The Duke's ball has been a topic of discussion throughout the series between India and England. Players from both sides have raised concerns over the ball losing its shape and becoming too soft far too early in the innings. The ball had to be changed twice during the morning session on Day 3 of the Lord's Test.
According to ICC guidelines, the replacement ball should match the original in terms of usage. However, the new ball failed to swing or seam effectively, allowing England to recover. Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse both scored half-centuries, denying India a chance to take a first-innings lead.
India Raise Ball Change Concerns with the Match Referee
According to The Indian Express, the Indian team management has raised concerns with the match referee over the ball-change procedures. India feels that the replacement protocol has not been followed correctly and that England may have been favored.
“Check the scoreboard to see how the game changed after that. The bowlers lost their swing and England scored with ease,” the official said.

“When you ask for a ball change, you aren’t told about the age of the replacement you will be getting. At Lord’s, we weren’t told that the replacement would be 30 to 35 overs old. If we were told, we would have continued with the deformed ball that was used for 10 overs. The ICC needs to intervene. This rule needs to be changed," he said.
