It was later given as a wide, and Tom Curran was not impressed by that decision. Krunal Pandya then went on to take a single on the next delivery , and his way to the non strikers end, Curran had a word or two to say to his face. Krunal Pandya didn’t welcome that at all, and responded with a mouthful.
