ENG vs IND, 2nd Test Live: Wooden bottle corks thrown at KL Rahul fencing the boundary

ENG vs IND 2nd Test Live: England is currently in a very good position in the ongoing 2nd Test match against India at Lord’s. English skipper Joe Root is nearing his second century in this five-match Test series while Jonny Bairstow is batting on an unbeaten fifty. However, during the first session on Day 3 of the Test match, the Lord’s crowd displayed a poor sportsman spirit.

Wooden bottle corks thrown at KL Rahul

During the opening session on Day 3 of the second Test match between England and India, the English fans at the Lord’s cricket ground were seen throwing champagne bottle corks at KL Rahul who was fielding near the boundary line. It was a shameful display of sportsman spirit from the English crowd and even the Indian skipper Virat Kohli was seen getting angry with this behaviour at the Home of Cricket.

So the #England crowd is at it again throwing corks at #KLRahul. Virat as usual leads the way in taking charge of the situation. Shame on the folks who threw them. @MichaelVaughan ENG fans need to understand the game more and some classes are needed when it comes to discipline.
