CRAWLEY DRAWS IRE OF GILL OVER TIMEWASTING

ZAK CRAWLEY was at the centre of a furious time-wasting row as the Lord's Test boiled over.

The England opener was confronted by finger-pointing India captain Shubman Gill (above) after pulling away twice and then calling for treatment after being rapped on the bottom hand by Jasprit Bumrah (left). Crawley's "theatrics" ensured they only had to face one over from India talisman Bumrah (left) as they reached 2-0.

The row ensures today's pivotal first session will be laced with spice.

Stump microphones picked up Gill angrily telling Crawley to "grow some f****** balls" after he had called for the physio.
