India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and England's Brydon Carse got involved in a heated argument following a collision on the field on Day 5 of the third Test between England and India. The two were at loggerheads at the mid-pitch following a collision while Jadeja was on a run.
The incident took place in the 35th over of India's second innings when Jadeja was facing Carse. He cut a back of a length Carse delivery through to the point as the batters scampered for two. While Jadeja was on his first run, he non-intentionally collided with Carse while watching the ball. He completed his first run, and the second, as Carse said some words to the Indian batter.
Jadeja then walked towards the bowler and replied to him, seemingly telling him that he was having his eyes on the ball and did not see him. England skipper Ben Stokes intervened to stop the argument.
Meanwhile, England bossed the first session of the final day. With India starting the day on 58/4 and needing 135 more to win, the hosts ripped the visitors'
batting apart with Jofra Archer and Woakes striking in unison. Archer struck in the third over of the day first as he cleaned Rishabh Pant up before getting Washington Sundar caught-and-bowled. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Jadeja forged a strong stand for the eighth wicket as they dug themselves in.
They staged a fightback and played for a little more than an hour as they looked to keep the visitors in the hunt. However, just when India would have begun to believe a bit, Chris Woakes struck in the final over before lunch as he ended Nitis's resistance and nicked him behind to send India eight down.
