Joe Root calls out Shubman Gill for 'complaining, wasting time' amid ball change row: 'Got to be skilful enough to adapt
The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between England and India continues to enthral fans worldwide. However, at the same time, the growing inconsistency of the Dukes' ball has been a deterrent. Throughout the series, both camps have been constantly complaining about the ball's condition, as it has grown out of shape within 10-12 overs. The Lord's Test is no different. However, things got a bit out of control on the morning of Day 2, as Shubman Gill had a heated exchange with the on-field umpires. Cricket - International Test Match Series - Third Test - England v India - Lord's Cricket Ground, London, Britain - July 11, 2025 England's Joe Root Action Images via Reuters/Peter Cziborra(Action Images via Reuters) He and Mohammed Siraj expressed displeasure with the replacement ball handed out for the second new ball, which came about after just 10.3 overs of use. After the close of play on Day 2, Joe Root, who scored a century for England in the first innings, made a radical call, saying each team should be given three chances to swap the ball over the course of 80 overs. He said that this would help ease frustration regarding the repeated changing of the Dukes' ball. Speaking about India's frustration, Jasprit Bumrah had taken three wickets in 14 balls, but after the ball change, India failed to get any assistance from the pitch, and Brydon Carse and Jamie Smith took England past the 350-run mark. The ball was then changed again, 48 deliveries after the previous change. This has led to the Dukes ball receiving a barrage of criticism from all corners.

"But the rings have to be the right size, not too big," he added. 'Can't slow the game down' Joe Root also took a sly dig at India, saying one needs to get on with it and accept the conditions as they are. He stated that one cannot keep wasting time and slowing the game down. "That would be a nice way of compromising and saying it's not all on the manufacturer. Sometimes these things happen, but you can't just keep asking and wasting time and slowing the game down at the same time," said Root. Joe Root was unbeaten on 99 after stumps on Day 1. He got to his 37th Test ton on the very first ball of the day as he registered a boundary off the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah. "It's one of those things where if the balls are going out of shape, you change them, and you don't make a big deal out of it. I don't think it's the end of the world. I think it adds a different dynamic to the game and you've got to be skilful enough to adapt to the changes, whether it stops swinging or starts swinging or does a little bit more," said Root. Speaking of the Lord's Test, the contest is hanging in the balance. England posted 387 runs on the board while India are 145/3 with KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant unbeaten at the crease. The visitors are still trailing by 242 runs.

Jasprit Bumrah reveals why he didn't celebrate after historic fifer at Lords: ‘I'm not 21 anymore'
Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was at the height of his abilities during Day 2 of the Lords test match as he made his way into the stadium's historic leaderboard by taking five wickets in the first innings. However, more than Bumrah's bowling, his muted reaction after the achieving the milestone garnered a lot of attention with social media users wondering why the Indian pacer wasn't interesting in celebrating after his fifer. Notably, Bumrah took three early wickets on Day 2 of the match as he first dismissed England skipper Ben Stokes with a peach of a delivery, followed by Joe Root and later on Chris Woakes, taking England from 251/4 at the start of the day to 271/7. Bumrah eventually completed his fifer with the wicket of Jofra Archer, marking his 15th such event in Test cricket. The pacer also went past Kapil Dev's record for most overseas five wicket hauls by an Indian bowler. Notably, Bumrah was so disinterested in celebrating the five wicket haul that Mohammed Siraj had to step in and raise the pacer's hand with the Dukes ball in it to show his appreciation for the applause from the crowd. In the end Bumrah finished with figures of 5/72 as England were bowled out for 387 in the first innings, thanks to late fifties from Jamie Smith (51) and Brydon Carse (56). It was also Bumrah's second five-wicket haul in the ongoing series after having taken 5/83 in Leeds. Speaking after the end of day's play, Bumrah was asked why he didn't celebrate the milestone to which the Indian pacer replied, 'The reality is that I was tired. There was no happiness factor. I bowled for a long time on the field, and sometimes I get tired,' Bumrah said. 'I'm not 21-22 anymore that I'll jump around. I'm usually not like that. I was happy that I contributed. Other than that, I just wanted to go back to my mark and bowl the next ball.' he added.

Joe Root slams Shubman Gill for wasting time amid ongoing ball change controversy, says 'got to be skilful enough to adapt'
Joe Root. New Delhi: Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between England and India has been able to maintain fans all over the world. But now the chronic unreliability of the Dukes ball has become an increasing aggravation. All through the series, players on both sides have been complaining that the ball had lost its shape as early as in 10-12 overs. This obstacle continued throughout the Lord Test too but the ardor increased on the morning on Day 2 when Shubman Gill broke into a violent confrontation with the on-field umpires. Both Shubman Gill, and Mohammed Siraj have expressed their annoyance with the second new ball that was spared, having been used only 10.3 overs. After Day 2 came to a close, England centurion Joe Root came out with an idea to solve the problem, which was somewhat radical, where it revolved around affording each team only three chances to alter the ball, in the course of 80 overs. Explaining this proposal, Root said it would serve to diminish the annoyance arising out of the repetitive fluctuations of the ball of the Dukes. It is concerning that India as Jasprit Bumrah had picked three wickets in 14 balls but after that, the Indian bowlers failed to make anything out of the pitch after the change of ball. This enabled Brydon Carse and Jamie Smith to steer England above 350 runs. Only forty eight deliveries later, the ball was then replaced again, pending player, expert, and fan outcry over both the Dukes ball and the repeated replacements. 'I personally think that if you want to keep getting the ball changed, then each team gets three challenges every 80 overs and that's it, if you want to get it changed,' Root told reporters after stumps. 'But the rings have to be the right size, not too big,' he added. Joe Root takes a dig at Indian team It also seemed that Joe Root was throwing a slight last minute jab at India as he hinted that teams have to accept the conditions and keep moving. He stressed that the elements of prolonging and wasting time over the balls are unnecessary things that fuel the game with unnecessary slowness. 'That would be a nice way of compromising and saying it's not all on the manufacturer. Sometimes these things happen, but you can't just keep asking and wasting time and slowing the game down at the same time,' said Root. At Day 1 stumps, Joe Root stood unbeaten on 99. He scored his 37th Test century on the first ball of the day when he recorded a boundary facing Jasprit Bumrah. 'It's one of those things where if the balls are going out of shape, you change them, and you don't make a big deal out of it. I don't think it's the end of the world. I think it adds a different dynamic to the game and you've got to be skilful enough to adapt to the changes, whether it stops swinging or starts swinging or does a little bit more,' said Root. Speaking of the Lord's Test match, the game is pretty well balanced. England now posted 387 and India is 145/3 with KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant at of the crease. The visitors are stretched behind by 242 runs and it is going to be an interesting contest going forward.
