On Day 2, on Saturday, there was a mild interruption during the opening session when bottle corks were thrown at KL Rahul, who was fielding near the boundary. After the incident, skipper Virat Kohli expressed his displeasure and asked Rahul to remove the corks. Meanwhile, the Indians had a chat with on-field umpires Michael Gough and Richard Illingworth on the same, as play was halted briefly.
In another incident, an English fan entered the playing area while wearing an India shirt with 'Jarvo' printed on it. As security officials apprehended him, he pointed at the logo of the Board of Control for Cricket in India in his shirt.
The pitch invader gestured towards the fieldset, to which pacer Mohammed Siraj laughed. Although the security officials ejected the fan out of the ground, it could have been possible that he was intoxicated since beer is allowed at English venues.
