Players from England and India were reportedly involved in an angry confrontation in the Lord's long room during last week's second Test<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to The Telegraph, there were "tense scenes" at the conclusion of the third day's play, following repeated short pitched bowling by Jasprit Bumrah at England tailender James Anderson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The report says England captain Joe Root<\/a> and opposite number Virat Kohli<\/a> exchanged words as the situation threatened to get out of control.<\/p>\n

"Confrontations in the Lord's Long Room – the hallowed inner sanctum of English cricket – are almost unheard of," the Telegraph said.<\/p>\n

Because of coronavirus restrictions, the Long Room, which is normally packed with members, was instead being used as the player's dining room during the match.<\/p>\n

England won the Test by 151 runs, in an ill-tempered affair.<\/p>\n

"It just showed this team is not going to back down and take a backward step when provoked," Kohli said. "What is said on the field, and what's done in the moment, gives you extra motivation, as I said after the game, to get together as a team even more strongly."<\/p>\n

Speaking after the match, Anderson took aim at Bumrah's tactics.<\/p>\n

"I got caught off guard a little bit because all the batters coming in were saying how slow the pitch was. Banged in short; it was really slow. When I came out to bat, Joe Root said Bumrah was not bowling as quick as he normally does," Anderson said on the BBC Tailenders Podcast.<\/p>\n

"And then, the first ball was 90 miles an hour and on the money, wasn't it? And it felt like, I haven't felt like this ever in my career. I felt he wasn't trying to get me out.<\/p>\n

"He bowled an over, maybe 10, 11, 12 balls (it was 10). He was bowling no-ball after no-ball, bowling short. I think he bowled two on the stumps which I managed to dig out."<\/p>\n
