Tensions flared on day two of the third Test between India and England at Lord’s, as a controversial ball change became the center of attention. Just 10 overs into the day’s play, India raised concerns about the condition of the Dukes ball. The umpire’s attempt to pass the ball through the gauge proved unsuccessful, leading to its replacement.

Bumrah Remains Tight-Lipped

Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has refrained from making any public statements about the incident. This silence is notable, given the potential for a deduction in match fees for controversial comments.

India captain Shubman Gill was seen in a heated discussion with the umpire following the ball change. It appeared Gill was expressing his dissatisfaction with the replacement ball and the circumstances surrounding the change. The incident added another layer of drama to an already intense Test match.
