England Regains Momentum After India Ball Change, Critics Slam Gill Captaincy at Lord's

News summary

India's third Test match against England at Lord's featured several controversial moments that shifted the game's momentum. India faced criticism for time-wasting tactics similar to those they complained about, as England's Zak Crawley delayed the game towards the day's close, provoking anger from Indian players. India vice-captain Rishabh Pant was heavily criticized by former cricketer Anil Kumble for a careless runout that could have been avoided by blocking deliveries before lunch. A pivotal incident was India's decision to change the ball during Day 2 when Jasprit Bumrah was bowling effectively, which former England pacer Steve Harmison and other commentators condemned as a major strategic error that cost India their momentum. This ball change, requested by Mohammed Siraj without consulting Bumrah or captain Shubman Gill, led to a loss of swing and allowed England to rebuild their innings, shifting the advantage away from India. Harmison specifically criticized Gill's captaincy for not managing the situation better, emphasizing that the ball change disrupted India's dominance and allowed England to recover.
