Indian wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant accused Australian opener Sam Konstas of trying to waste time during the last few minutes of playing on Friday. The heated confrontation between Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah and Konstas took place when Bumrah started his over just a few minutes before the allotted time for Stumps.
