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 were 'tense scenes' in the Lord's pavilion at the end of the third day after Jasprit Bumrah bowled continuous short balls to number eleven batsman and England's pace attack spearhead James Anderson.

"The players were pictured arguing as they left the playing field but the rows carried on in the Long Room, which was packed with India officials, support staff and squad players, who gave their team a rousing reception as they walked inside," read the report.

"Joe Root, who had just scored a brilliant unbeaten 180, and Virat Kohli are believed to have exchanged words on their way to the dressing rooms as the situation threatened to escalate before tempers cooled," added the report.

India went on to win the Test match by 151 runs, bowling out England for 120 in last two sessions of the final day at Lord's.
