Crawley ensured there were only six deliveries from Jasprit Bumrah before stumps by twice withdrawing from his stance and then calling for the physio after the fifth ball, which appeared to make only minimal contact with his glove.
Tempers flared as it became evident that India would not be able to bowl another over before the close. Host broadcaster Sky Sports even issued an on-air apology after a stump microphone picked up Gill swearing angrily at Crawley.
Crawley and Gill jabbed fingers at each other as they exchanged choice words, with England's other opener, Ben Duckett, also getting involved.
Why Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah lost their cool in last five minutes of Day 3 vs England
'If I'm wearing the Indian hat, I would have done all that, you know,' Ravi Shastri told Sky Cricket.
'We call it Tamasha. All that is allowed, you know—on the field of play, you want all that. You can't just have 'good morning, good evening, go home'. A little bit of argy-bargy is okay!
As long as you don't cross the line, I'm okay with all that.'

Tim Southee, England's bowling consultant, suggested Gill was guilty of double standards after delaying the end of England's innings on Day 2 to receive treatment, while India all-rounder Washington Sundar also held up proceedings during his batting stint for what appeared to be a comfort break.
'I'm not sure what they were complaining about when Gill was lying down getting a massage in the middle of the day yesterday,' Southee told reporters after stumps on Saturday.
'It's obviously part of the game. It's always exciting to see both sides animated towards the end, and it was an exciting way to finish the day. It was good to see energy from both sides.'

‘Not Bazball, just arrogance': Brook attracts massive censure from Shastri, Sangakkara after rash dismissal at Lord's
England batter Harry Brook has faced heavy criticism from former India head coach Ravi Shastri and ex-Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara. Brook made headlines with his rash dismissal on Day 4 at Lord's. read more England batter Harry Brook has drawn immense criticism from former India head coach Ravi Shastri and ex-Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara. Brook, who launched a counter-attack on India following three dismissals on the morning of Day 4 at Lord's, went for a needless audacious sweep just before the end of the session and was beaten for pace by Akash Deep, resulting in him getting cleaned up, giving an ugly conclusion to a wonderful start he got in the 2nd innings at Lord's. He departed after a quick-fire 23 off 19. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Also Read | Pant and Gill's explosive batting helps India break another record in ongoing tour of England Ravi Shastri slams Harry Brook for squandering wonderful start Defining the shot he played as a 'nothing shot', Shastri went hard on Brook. According to the former India coach, there was no need for the English batter to take that risk as he had fetched two boundaries in the over. Shastri insisted that Brook should put a price on his wicket and understand its importance. 'Brook can be destructive - the impact he wanted to make with those two reverse sweeps, he did that. But I think he is too good a player to put his wicket at risk at that stage of the game. It was a nothing shot. He was only going to get one run even if he connected. The risk element was huge,' said Shastri on Sky Sports' broadcast during lunch break. Also Read | 'Jurel can't be backup for Pant': India's reserve keeper faces backlash over ordinary performance at Lord's Sangakkara throws massive flak on Harry Brook Former Sri Lanka captain, Kumar Sangakkara shared similar sentiments, calling it a moment of 'arrogance' rather than confidence or tactical aggression. 'Brook has scooped, and they've given him a gap, so flick it. I think it's a bit of arrogance, not even overconfidence, it's not even Bazball, it's just arrogance. You're counter-attacking and that is a big, big mistake,' he said. While it was somewhat irresponsible from Harry Brook, India won't mind. Brook was beginning to look threatening but his wicket gave India the respite. In the hindsight, his dismissal could go down as the turning point in the game, should India go on to win the match.

India end engagements at Lonato World Cup
New Delhi, July 13 (UNI) India ended engagements at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Shotgun in Lonato, after the pair of Lakshay Sheoran (22,19,25) and Neeru Dhanda (25,24,25), despite shooting a perfect third series, fell short of the Trap Mixed Team medal rounds. They totaled 140 out of a possible 150 in the qualifying round to finish 10th among 54 pairs. The second Indian pair of Zoravar Singh Sandhu (21,23,24) and Preeti Rajak (23,24,23) combined for a tally of 138 to finish in 22nd spot. While Neeru continued from her brilliant fourth place finish in the women's trap a day earlier to miss just one target out of her 75, Lakshay had a blip in the second series, where he missed six, which eventually cost a shot at a podium finish. Four teams, Australia, Great Britain and both the Spanish teams topped the qualifications with identical tallies of 143. Indian pair of Kynan Chenai and Sabeera Haris had won a bronze in the Trap Mixed Team event at the previous Nicosia Shotgun World Cup. The event will be held for the first time in the Olympics at Los Angeles in 2028. UNI RKM
