Drama at Lord’s again! Akash Deep copies Zak Crawley tactics, Ben Stokes sarcastically claps around KL Rahul

The third Test between India and England is very alive following the fourth day play at the Lord's on Sunday, and things got heated up for the second day in a row. It was Akash Deep's turn on Day 4 after the time-wasting Shubman Gill-Zak Crawley last-over controversy on Day 3. Akash Deep tried to avoid playing an extra over.

The Indian second innings' seventeenth over was where it all began. Like Crawley the day before, Akash Deep tried to eat up time by calling the Team India physiotherapist to get his right leg strapped after England's unsuccessful LBW appeal.

When the camera turned to KL Rahul and Crawley's animated conversation, Ben Duckett, who was present at the spot, began clapping mockingly at Akash Deep. Two balls later, during a heated exchange between the England pacer and the batter, Akash Deep stopped a delivery from Brydon Carse, adding spice to the situation.

Just like Shubman Gill did to England openers on the third day, to the excitement of the Lord's fans, Stokes came across Rahul at that very moment and gave him a mocking clap. Rahul smiled as he dealt with the problem.
On the fourth day, Stokes had the last laugh, though, as the England skipper dismissed nightwatchman Akash Deep, bringing India down to 58/4 at stumps.
