IND Vs ENG, 3rd Test: Tensions Flare As Brydon Carse Clashes With Ravindra Jadeja After Mid-Pitch Collision At Lord’s; Video

Tensions flared briefly on Day 5 of the third Test between India and England at Lord’s after a heated mid-pitch exchange between Brydon Carse and Ravindra Jadeja during a lively passage of play.

The incident occurred when Carse bowled a hard-length delivery outside off stump to Jadeja, who rose on his toes and slashed it past backward point. The ball raced toward the deep boundary, where Zak Crawley made an excellent diving stop to restrict it to just two runs.

However, the action didn’t end there. As Jadeja was sprinting for the run, he appeared to unintentionally run into Carse,. The English pacer was visibly upset, exchanging words with the Indian all-rounder after the play. Jadeja, calm but firm, appeared to explain that he was tracking the ball and did not see Carse in his path.

Replays confirmed that Jadeja had his eyes on the ball during the collision, which likely led to the misunderstanding. Seeing the situation getting slightly heated, England captain Ben Stokes stepped in quickly to calm things down. His intervention helped defuse the moment, and play resumed without further trouble.

The Jadeja-Carse moment served as another reminder of how fine the line is between passion and conflict in elite cricket. Thankfully, this one was resolved swiftly, with the focus returning to the contest on the field.

IND Vs ENG, 3rd Test: Mohammed Siraj Left In Frustration As Joe Root Survives Close LBW Call On Day 4 At Lord’s; Video

In a tense moment during the 38th over of England’s second innings in the ongoing third Test at Lord’s, Mohammed Siraj thought he had trapped Joe Root plumb in front, only for technology and umpire’s call to deny him the wicket.

The delivery was a beauty which nipped back in from a good length on off and middle stump. Root, who had shuffled well across his stumps and was batting outside the crease, attempted a flick off his pads. However, the ball jagged in sharply, beat the inside edge, and struck Root on the front pad.

Siraj let out a loud appeal for LBW, convinced he had his man. The on-field umpire, however, turned it down. After a brief discussion, Shubman Gill signaled for a review, backing Siraj’s confidence in the shout.

UltraEdge showed no contact with the bat, confirming the ball had missed the inside edge. But ball tracking revealed that the delivery was only clipping the leg stump, resulting in an umpire’s call on impact and wickets.

Siraj was clearly frustrated, gesturing in disbelief, as to the naked eye the ball appeared to be crashing into the stumps. Instead, Root survived, which was a big moment in a tightly contested innings that could have swung momentum in India’s favour.
