India had no right to complain about England’s tactics in a dramatic finale to the third day of the third Test at Lord’s after their own time-wasting earlier in the match, says bowling coach Tim Southee.<\/p>\n
Opener Zak Crawley repeatedly delayed bowler Jasprit Bumrah and called for a physio after being hit on the finger as he successfully ensured he and Ben Duckett only had to face one over before the close, instead of two.<\/p>\n
India’s players reacted angrily to the delays, with captain Shubman Gill gesticulating to Crawley shouting an expletive in his direction.<\/p>\n
“It is always exciting to see both sides animated towards the end,” said Southee, who is England’s fast-bowling consultant.<\/p>\n
“Not sure what they were complaining about when Shubman was lying down getting a massage in the middle of the day yesterday.<\/p>\n
“It’s obviously part of the game. It is an exciting way to finish.”<\/p>\n
After England bowled India out for 387 – level with the hosts’ first-innings score – Crawley and Duckett emerged to bat with five minutes left in the day, which should have been time for two overs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"India had no right to complain about England’s tactics in a dramatic finale to the third day of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5412,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[182,181,507,74],"class_list":["post-5411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
