Tensions are rising ahead of the fourth test between England and India at Old Trafford. India captain Shubman Gill said Tuesday that England had acted against the “spirit of the game” by delaying play in last week's heated third test at Lord’s.

India captain Shubman Gill has accused England of breaching the “spirit” of cricket with their supposed delaying tactics in the third Test at Lord’s.

The Indian skipper alleged that Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett arrived at the crease 90 seconds behind schedule at the start of England's second innings at Lord's - sparking the explosive scenes that overshadowed the hosts' nail-biting 22-run victory.
