Things got heated up for the second day in a row as the third Test between India and England is very alive after fourth day's play at the Lord's on Sunday. After the Shubman Gill-Zak Crawley last-over time-wasting drama on third day, it was Akash Deep's turn on Day 4 with a attempt to not play an extra over. 

It all started in the 17th over of the Indian second innings. After England's unsuccessful LBW appeal, Akash Deep called the Team India physio to get some strapping on his right leg, in an attempt to eat up time - similar to that of Crawley on the previous day.

While the camera panned to KL Rahul's animated chatter with Crawley, Ben Duckett, standing at point, started clapping sarcastically towards Akash Deep. Things got spicy two balls later when Akash Deep blocked a Brydon Carse delivery as the England pacer had an animated chat with the batter. The Indian tells Carse to get on with it. 

It was in that moment when Stokes came across Rahul, clapping sarcastically, just like what Shubman Gill did to England openers on the third day much to the cheers from the Lord's crowd. Rahul handled the situation with a smile.
