The second innings of the Test match at Lord’s between India and England saw a lot of tension not just in the cricket, but also in the emotions of the players.
During Mohammed Siraj’s over to Zak Crawley, a ball hit Crawley on the pads and India appealed loudly for LBW. The umpire gave it not out. India quickly took the review, hoping the third umpire would overturn the decision.

Just seconds after the review was taken, Jasprit Bumrah was caught on the stump mic saying, “Slope se na, be****hod umpire’s call aata hai,” clearly showing his frustration with how the slope at Lord’s often causes close LBW calls to stay with the batter.
As it turned out, Bumrah’s prediction was right. The third umpire ruled it as “umpire’s call,” and Crawley was given not out. These kinds of emotional reactions are common in high-pressure Test cricket, where every ball matters. Bumrah’s comment reminded everyone how passionate and invested players are in the game.
With the match still in play, both teams will need to stay focused and avoid letting emotions take over. Moments like this are a part of the intense world of top-level cricket.
IND Vs ENG, 3rd Test: Jasprit Bumrah’s Lethal Delivery Brutally Rattles Zak Crawley At Lord’s; Video
Jasprit Bumrah produced a ferocious delivery early in England’s second innings that left Zak Crawley shaken and India just inches away from a crucial breakthrough. The incident took place in the third over of the innings during the ongoing third Test at Lord’s.
The ball was angled in sharply from a length and rose awkwardly off the pitch. Crawley, looking to push forward off the front foot, was caught by surprise as the delivery smashed into his gloves, popping up dangerously into the leg-side. There was no fielder at silly mid-on, but Bumrah, sensing a chance, sprinted forward and put in a full-length slide in an attempt to catch the rebound.

The ball, however, just brushed Bumrah’s fingertips and landed on the turf, a dramatic near-miss that had the Indian fielders on edge. Crawley immediately took off his gloves and was seen wincing in pain, shaking his hands as he tried to recover from the blow.
It was a reminder of Bumrah’s lethal ability with the red ball, combining awkward bounce, sharp pace, and relentless accuracy to trouble even set batters. Though it didn’t result in a wicket, the delivery set the tone for an aggressive spell from India’s spearhead, and Crawley knew he’d just survived a brutal examination.
