ENG vs IND: England, India Players Involved In Heated Exchange In Lord's Long Room

The England and Indian team players were reportedly involved in a heated confrontation in the Lord's Long Room during the second Test last week. A report by The Telegraph on Wednesday said there w

"Confrontations in the Lord's Long Room -- the hallowed inner sanctum of English cricket -- are almost unheard of. Normally the area is packed with MCC members and the two teams go their separate ways up different staircases to their dressing rooms. But due to Covid restrictions last week the Long Room was closed to members as was the players' dining room. It allowed the two sides to mingle more freely at the end of a day, making confrontation more likely in the event of a heated passage of play," further said the report.

India skipper Virat Kohli had said in the virtual press conference on Tuesday that his side was provoked by England but did not divulge the words that were spoken.

"I cannot give you the details of the words that were spoken; I think it's for the cameras and the stump mics to pick that up for both teams. What is said on the field and what's done in the moment, gives you extra motivation."
