In fact, before the end of the third day’s play, the England team had to play one over in their second innings. However, Jack Crowley and Ben Duckett were deliberately trying to spend time by showing cleverness, so that they did not have to play the whole over. Due to this, Indian captain Shubman Gill was very irritated and he also sledged both the openers fiercely. Mohammad Siraj was also seen fully supporting the captain during this time.
In the press conference before the Manchester Test, Harry Brook talked about this incident and said,
“We saw that those people were attacking Cripps (Jack Crowley) and Ducky (Ben Duckett), so we talked a little among ourselves and thought that we are a team, so why not stand united with them. Then we all retaliated on the field.”
It was fun…
It should be noted that after this, the England players tried to sledge many players during India’s second innings. A heated argument was also seen between Brydon Cars and Akashdeep. When Harry Brook was asked whether this incident was right for the game? He said,

“The reaction of the fans to this was tremendous. I got a lot of praise, everyone said that it was worth watching. It seemed as if there was an 11 vs 2 match on the field. It was fun. It was a bit tiring, but yes, it felt good. It made fielding a lot more fun.”
Let us tell you that the England team has currently gained a 2-1 lead in the series. Now its effort will be to win the Manchester Test and gain an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series. On the other hand, Gill’s army will show its strength to retain the series.
