The players and the spectators were left into splits after a fan sporting India’s Test jersey entered the playing area. It happened during the start of the 2nd session at the Lord’s Cricket Ground after a fan named ‘Jarvo’ entered the playing area wearing the Indian national jersey for Tests, which had the number 69 engraved on it.
Not just this, after the security guys got hold of him, ‘Jarvo’ tried to convince them that he is an Indian player. He was soon taken off the field by the security officials. Indian players, including Siraj, burst into laughter at the hilarious incident.
Ravindra Jadeja was also standing near the security officials however it was the reaction of Mohammed Siraj that caught everyone’s attention.

Talking about the game, England has dominated the proceedings so far. England’s Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow formed an amazing partnership and smashed the Indian bowlers all around the ground, to bring their side back to the game. England skipper Joe Root is going ahead strongly and was batting on 151* off 273 at the time of publishing this article.
On the other hand, Mohammed Siraj has scalped 3 wickets, while Shami and Ishant Sharma have picked 1 wicket each. It will be interesting to see if India is able to make a strong comeback in the second innings.
Meanwhile, SKY and Prithvi Shaw have joined the Indian cricket team at Lord’s after completing their mandatory isolation period.
