Tensions flared late on Day 3 of the Test match between India and England at Edgbaston, as England captain Ben Stokes was seen heatedly arguing with the on-field umpire. The confrontation arose after Yashasvi Jaiswal was controversially allowed to review a decision despite appearing to exceed the 15-second DRS time limit.

Jaiswal was adjudged LBW by the on-field umpire and walked over to his opening partner KL Rahul to discuss the possibility of a review. The pair took longer than the allotted 15 seconds to make a decision, with Jaiswal signaling for the DRS a few seconds after the window had expired.

Despite the delay, on-field umpire Sharfuddoula referred the decision upstairs. This prompted an immediate reaction from Ben Stokes, who confronted the umpire to express his displeasure over the review being allowed. Stokes argued that the review should not be allowed, but following a short discussion, the umpires upheld Jaiswal’s request.

However, the review didn’t work in Jaiswal’s favor. Ball-tracking confirmed all three reds, ending his innings at 28 off 22 deliveries. While England celebrated the breakthrough, the home crowd reacted with boos, unhappy with the sequence of events.

Earlier in his innings, Jaiswal reached a personal milestone by becoming the joint-fastest Indian to score 2,000 Test runs. He achieved the feat in his 40th innings, matching the records held by Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag. The moment came when an outside edge off Brydon Carse flew past the slip cordon for a boundary.

Before the second innings of India, Mohammed Siraj’s six wicket-haul kept the visitors ahead in the second Test  after counter-attacking hundreds from Jamie Smith and Harry Brook. Siraj struck twice in the second over of the day to leave England on the mat at 84 for five before Brook (158 off 234) and Smith (184 not out off 207) combined to script the hosts’ remarkable recovery with a 303-run stand off 368 balls. The partnership was sensational.
