The Lord’s sacred land witnessed a first day of filling of the Third test between England and IndiaBut in the middle of the serious contest, a moment of Pure Cricketing Theater brought smiles to the face of players and fans. When the Sun began to put in the iconic local of London, a playful exchange between the Ace of England Root Joe and the star of India All-Rounder Ravindra jadaja He provided a light conclusion to a day dominated largely by the battle of the house.
Ravindra jadja mocking Joe Root
With the end of the game of the day, Root, arranged in 99 and the cusp of its 37th century of test, faced a delivery of the young Indian rhythm, Akash Deep. The former Captain of England struck the ball of the rear foot towards a deep back, where Jadja was located. A single was taken, putting root only a timid shy of the coveted milestone. However, what followed was a series of gestures and a silent challenge that encapsulated the competitive but kind spirit of the game.
Jadja, known for his athletics and an “rocket” arm, made the ball clean. Instead of returning to the bowling, he retained him for a moment, making a root to try the second round that would complete his hundreds. A veteran of countless times of high pressure, Root, at the age of 35, knew that the risk was not worth it. The temptation was strong: the view of the ball in the hands of Jadja, the opportunity to reach its century and end the day in a high, but resisted. The Tot Indian, not one who let the moment pass, expanded the joke by leaving the ball on the floor, pretending an invitation to Root to take the second round.
A wide smile spread over Root’s face while on the ground at the end of the non-striker, shaking his head in a fun denial. The time was a testament to the respect between the two players and a classic example of Cricketing Banter. As the end of the day turned upside down, Root stuck in 99, a lonely flight of a milestone. The play of the day ended, but the image of Root’s infectious smile in response to the Jadja Mental Games persisted, becoming the most prominent of the most memorable day of the day. Now he will have the opportunity to reach his century on the second day of the test, a perspective that will surely create anticipation among fans.

England measured response to Indian attack
The playful culmination of the day was preceded by a strong and constant performance of the Battle Line of England. Despite losing four doctors, the house side ended the day in a command position, reaching 251 runs at the end of the game. Joe Root was the anchor of the entrances, showing his characteristic elegance and control against both the rhythm and the spin. Was well supported by the captain of England, Ben Stokesthat was a picture of resilience at the other end. Stokes ended the day with a solid and unbeaten 39 runs of 102 deliveries, playing the role of the ideal partner perfectly.
The Indian bowling unit, while disciplined, was difficult to break constantly by decisive English resistance. Ravindra Jadja was, without a doubt, the selection of bowls, showing their exceptional control and doctors’ ability. He was particularly unpleasant, granting only 26 runs from his ten points, while also claiming Ollie Pope’s crucial wicket.
