Watch: Fired-up Mohammed Siraj gives Ben Duckett an in-your-face send-off as tensions boil over at Lord's
NEW DELHI:
Mohammed Siraj
lit a fire under the fourth day of the third Test at Lord's with a fierce and animated celebration after dismissing England opener
Ben Duckett
- a moment that summed up the surging tempers and rising tension between the two teams.
Live Score: India vs England 3rd Test
With the controversy from the previous evening still fresh - when Zak Crawley's time-wasting tactics angered Indian captain
Shubman Gill
and denied India a full final over - the visitors came out with renewed aggression. And it paid off early.

In just the fifth over of the day, Siraj struck with a 140kph back-of-a-length delivery just outside off. Duckett, who had looked aggressive from the start, attempted to take on the bowler by pulling down the ground but mistimed it horribly. The ball came off the inside half of the bat and went straight to
Jasprit Bumrah
at mid-on.
Why Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah lost their cool in last five minutes of Day 3 vs England
Siraj's celebration was as fiery as the delivery itself - charging toward Duckett and celebrating in his face, with a visible shoulder bump to boot. The intensity was unmistakable, a clear indication that India were still simmering from the late-day antics of Day 3.
WATCH:
The tension had been building since Crawley's deliberate delays on Saturday evening, which sparked a verbal clash between him and Gill, picked up by stump mics and followed by a public apology from Sky Sports. Duckett had also gotten involved in the altercation, and his early exit on Sunday seemed like poetic justice for the fired-up Indian camp.

NHL Trade Rumors: Sabres shut down Canucks' hopes as Bowen Byram unlikely to move
Speculation linking Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram to the Vancouver Canucks has cooled (Imagn Images) Trade buzz around Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram and a possible move to the Vancouver Canucks has recently intensified—but NHL insider David Pagnotta has poured cold water on the speculation, suggesting the connection is outdated and unlikely to revive anytime soon. Canucks interest in Bowen Byram was real—last season During a recent appearance on the 'Sekeres & Price' podcast, Pagnotta admitted that Vancouver's interest in Bowen Byram wasn't imagined, but clarified it was more relevant during the 2023–24 season. 'So, with the Canucks, I think it was real more so in the season than it was this past June,' he said. 'But honestly, for me, it would probably be something coming out of left field once all is said and done if something does happen with the Canucks. ' His comments come as the Sabres elected to take Byram, a restricted free agent, to arbitration—effectively blocking other teams from submitting offer sheets. That decision handed Byram control over the term of his next deal, letting him choose between a one-year or two-year contract. David Pagnotta: Canucks desperately seeking centres. Sabres aren't shopping Bowen Byram—but won't rule out a move While Buffalo isn't openly putting Byram on the trade block, they haven't shut the door on potential offers either. General manager Kevyn Adams emphasized the team remains flexible: 'If there's a deal out there that makes sense for us … we're open to it.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo But it's not just about stockpiling future assets. Adams made it clear the Sabres want impact players in return, particularly upgrades on the offensive front. According to Pagnotta, 'The Sabres want to upgrade themselves up front,' and while '(the arbitration) eliminates the offer sheet threat... it doesn't eliminate the fact that they may still end up moving him.'

However, despite this, he insists a Canucks trade is highly unlikely at this stage. The situation remains fluid, but for now, Byram appears set to stay in Buffalo—unless the right deal comes along to shake things loose.
