The cricket on the field has been high quality, but it was the fight in the final over of Day 3 that has added an extra layer of tension to the proceedings.

It was quite an intense altercation between Indian players and English openers as Zak Crawley tried to face as few balls as possible. Shubman Gill, the Indian captain, was pretty animated and even made nasty gestures, which included pointing a finger at Zak Crawley.
