During the pre-Manchester Test press conference, India captain Shubman Gill questioned England's "spirit of cricket" about his encounter with Zak Crawley at Lord's. England's 'time-wasting' tactics caused a heated argument between Gill and Crawley during the third Test.  

Gill acknowledged that at the end of the day, any team would want time, but he felt that England's 90-second delay was unfair.  

"Yes, a lot of people have been talking about it, so let me just clear the air, once and for all. The English batsmen on that day had seven minutes of play left; they were 90 seconds late to come to the crease — not 10, not 20 — 90 seconds late," Gill had said in the press conference.

However, Gill's comments struck former England captain Nasser Hussain as humorous, stating that India would act similarly if they were in a similar situation.

Former India wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik and Nasser Hussain talked about the Lord's Test problems. Hussain claimed that Gill's comments on the subject made him "laugh."

Karthik, however, strongly refuted Hussain's hypothesis, stating that India would never have the chance to postpone the match for ninety seconds.

Here is the conversation between Hussain and Karthik:

Nasser Hussain: “The umpires were concerned about the light, I think, in the last over. I haven't seen any light metres out there.”

Dinesh Karthik: “I think that's quite clever, that's fine, to just go and put that small little seed in the umpire's mind. Is it okay to, like, especially with the new ball around the corner, and we've seen a couple of collapses for India as well. And that's cheeky. Not a bad idea.”

Nasser Hussain: “That's what made me laugh about Shubham Gill's press conference, really, about England not being in the spirit of the game by delaying things, and England did delay it. Day three, that one over, it was ridiculous, but every side does it, and India will do it tonight. Why would they want extra overs of Jofra Archer under the lights? Who would?”

Dinesh Karthik: “Difference being, I don't think India can take 90 seconds not wanting to bat, or rather not wanting to come down to bat. I think that's the problem that Shubham Gill said he had. It was just the fact that they came late to take the strike that he had a problem with."
