However, they managed to bowl only one over as England opener Zak Crawley played antics to delay the proceedings. On fifth delivery of the first over off Jasprit Bumrah, Crawley was hit on his gloves as he tried to defend. He then called for team physio on the field.
However, Indian fielders were left frustrated with Crawley’s antics and then went on to sarcastically clap for him. Indian captain Shubman Gill was also seen gesturing towards Crawley during the over saying “Grow some balls.”
