Watch: Rishabh Pant Throws Ball In Anger As Massive Controversy Erupts After Umpire Refuses To...
India vice-captain Rishabh Pant had an animated chat with the on-field umpire during the ongoing first Test against England in Leeds. The incident happened in the first session on Day 3 as Pant was not happy with the condition of the Dukes ball. He approached the umpire, asking him to have a look at the ball. While the umpire did have a look at the ball by passing it through the gauge, Pant's appeal did not lead to any fruit. In a viral video, Pant was clearly not satisfied with whatever the umpire told him, and threw the ball away in frustration.
The incident happened in the 63rd over when England captain Ben Stokes was batting alongside Harry Brook.

Before the start of play on Day 3, India and England players wore black armbands to pay their respect to former fast bowler David Lawrence, who passed away on Sunday. He was 61.
Lawrence, who was affectionately known as 'Syd', played five Tests (18 wickets) and a lone ODI (4 wickets) for England between 1988 and 1992.
Lawrence, the first British-born Black cricketer to represent England, was battling motor neurone disease (MND) since last year.
"Both teams are wearing black armbands to pay their respects to former England Cricketer, David 'Syd' Lawrence, who has sadly passed away. There was a moment's applause before the start of play on Day 3," the BCCI said in a statement.
Lawrence was diagnosed with the disease in 2024, a degenerative condition that affects the brain and nerves, leading to muscle wastage and there is no known cure to it.
He had also authored a book 'Syd's Voice' to create awareness about MND and was involved in charity to raise funds for other patients.
A Gloucestershire legend, Lawrence amassed 515 wickets from 185 First-Class matches and 155 wickets from 113 List A games.
A promising bowler with extreme pace of his time, Lawrence's international career ended when he suffered a serious kneecap injury while bowling against New Zealand at Wellington in 1992.

India And England Combine To Make First Innings History At Leeds After 70 Years
Last Updated: India and England made history at Headingley, both scoring over 450 in the first innings. India and England combined to make history as both scored first innings totals over 450 runs each, something that has not been done at Headingley in the last 70 years. The last time the feat was achieved was in 2006 when Pakistan made 538 after England posted 515. The hosts won that game by 167 runs. On Sunday, in the first test of the five-match series, Harry Brook narrowly missed a fairytale century on his home ground, getting out for 99, as England capitalised on India's fielding errors before being dismissed for 465. Resuming at 209-3 in response to India's 471 all out, England suffered an early setback when overnight centurion Ollie Pope fell for 106. Brook was dismissed in the second session, attempting to reach his century with a six. Brook had settled in well, hitting 11 boundaries, and made India pay for dropped catches by scoring his 12th test half-century. He was given a third lifeline when Yashasvi Jaiswal at fourth slip dropped a wide ball—his third missed catch, and India's fifth of the innings. The Yorkshire-born batsman seemed poised for a big score until his heartbreaking dismissal came. He tried to reach three figures with a flourish, lofting Prasidh Krishna over fine leg, only to be caught by Shardul Thakur at the boundary. A dejected Brook threw his head back and covered his face before walking back to the pavilion, as the Headingley crowd gave him a standing ovation despite their disappointment. Krishna also dismissed Pope with a shorter delivery that he nicked to Rishabh Pant behind the stumps, adding only six runs to his overnight score. A windy day, which began with a tribute to former England speedster David 'Syd" Lawrence, who died at 61, threatened to frustrate India when Ben Stokes hit Mohammed Siraj down the ground to bring up England's 250. India were unhappy with the shape of the old ball, as highlighted when Pant threw it to the ground during a conversation with umpire Paul Reiffel after Brook charged Siraj and guided one over the slips. The tourists persevered, and captain Stokes was furious with himself when he fell for 20, edging Siraj, while Jamie Smith successfully reviewed an initial lbw decision off Thakur. Smith and Brook then formed a 73-run partnership, with India struggling to contain the runs. Smith fell for 40, hooking a short delivery to deep square leg where Ravindra Jadeja caught it and passed it to Sai Sudharsan before stepping over the rope. After Brook's dismissal, Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse built a 55-run partnership, frustrating the bowlers, until Carse was bowled by a Mohammed Siraj yorker. With India growing desperate, captain Shubman Gill brought Jasprit Bumrah back into the attack. Bumrah completed a five-wicket haul by dismissing Woakes and Josh Tongue with deliveries that shattered the stumps. Location : Leeds First Published:

Jadeja-Sai Sudharsan Take Brilliant Relay Catch To Dismiss Jamie Smith
Last Updated: Ravindra Jadeja and Sai Sudharsan's relay catch dismissed Jamie Smith on 40 in the first Test against England at Headingley. Star India allrounder Ravindra Jadeja and debutant Sai Sudharsan on Sunday, June 22, teamed up for a relay catch in the deep to dismiss a well-set Jamie Smith on 40 in the first Test of the five-match series against England at Headingley. Prasidh Krishna was able to get the breakthrough in the last over with the old ball in the second session of the match. Smith was looking in full flow after the lunch break, continuing from where he left off. He scored a four off Krishna in the first over of the session and took him on off the first delivery of his next over too. Smith went for a pull shot once again off the next ball, but missed contact. India appealed for caught behind and went on to lose a review as the ball was miles away from the bat. Jadeja, at deep square leg, came into play after Smith smacked the next shot. He ran backwards and completed the catch, but the job wasn't done yet. Smith departed after scoring 40 runs off 52 balls, which included five boundaries and a six. Earlier, Harry Brook went on the offensive against an inconsistent Indian pace attack, taking England to 327/5 at lunch on day three of the first Test in Headingley. Resuming at an overnight 209/3, Brook (57 batting off 77) ensured that England scored at a brisk pace, totalling 118 runs in 28 overs. They still trail India by 144 runs. The visitors got two welcome wickets of overnight centurion Ollie Pope (106 off 137) and England skipper Ben Stokes (20 off 52). Like day two, the trio of Krishna, Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj couldn't match the accuracy of ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Brook, dismissed off a Bumrah no-ball at the stroke of stumps on day two, was dropped by wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant on 46 before lunch.
