After a last-over drama at Lord's on Day 3, the play on Day 4 has resumed with the same intensity, with the Indian players full of fire and pumped up after Zak Crawley's antics to waste time on July 12. 

Meanwhile, the Bumrah-Crawley battle continued on Day 4 as the right-arm seamer consistently targeted English opener's hand, which he pretended to have hurt in the final over of play on Day 3. Notably, Zak Crawley was apparently hit on his hand on the 4th ball of the 1st over, following which he called the physios and eventually, the stumps were taken after just one over.

Bumrah Targets Crawley's Hand

India stars, particularly Bumrah, assumed it to be faking pain, which is why the battle was interesting to watch on Day 4. Notably, on the last ball of the 3rd over, Bumrah bowled a peach of a short-pitched delivery that hit Crawley on his hand, and the bat went flying in the air. 

Meanwhile, Bumrah also attempted for a catch and nearly took it after putting in a great diving effort with his bowling. It was not the only occasion in the match when the 31-year-old troubled Crawley as the England opener was hit on his hand on a couple of occasions, which left him in pain. 

Bumrah Nearly Pulls Off A Cummins-Like Catch

Bumrah nearly pulled off a stunning catch off his own bowling, and it would have resembled a lot like Cummins' catch. Notably, the Australian skipper recently hogged the internet after he took a great catch off his own bowling. 

Notably, in the 2nd Test between Australia and the West Indies, Cummins removed Keacy Carty off his own bowling and made a stunning diving effort and took a great one-handed catch.
