The Indian cricket team had a disappointing outing on the third day of the ongoing Test against England on Saturday as they were run ragged by the hosts despite a strong showing in the first session. Mohammed Shami was the pick of the Indian bowlers before lunch as the visitors, defending a small total of 107 in the first innings, picked up four of England's top-order batsmen and had slim hopes of staying alive in the contest.

As the teams headed into the lunch break, a tweet from the official account of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) caused a stir on social media. The BCCI had posted an image of the lunch menu on offer on Day 3, which featured a dish called 'braised beef pasta' and many users found an issue with the serving of beef to the Indian players.

It is to be noted that the menu was common for both teams and it was up to the individual choice of the players to decide what they want to have. Here are some of the tweets by users who voiced their concerns over the Indian team being served beef.

After lunch though, it was smooth sailing for England as India managed to take just a wicket apiece in the second and third sessions. Jonny Bairstow and Chris Woakes combined to register a mammoth 189-run partnership for the sixth wicket, with the keeper-batsman losing his wicket after scoring a hard-fought 93.

Woakes, on the other hand, remained unbeaten at 120 at the end of the third day's play and put the English players to the sword with a brilliant display of batting. The hosts' lead stands at exactly 250 runs and one can expect them to declare quickly and come out all guns blazing with the ball on Sunday, with the conditions expected to favour swing bowling.

Welcome to the civilized world. I wouldn’t be suprised if some were eager to taste some beef. Maybe the first time in their life’s trying it. Happy for them. Hope it was Halal Beef which is even better.
 
Well, the menu has chicken and veg options as well.
 
Holy cow, what's going to happen now? This will definitely leave a bad taste in relations in Anglo-Indian relations.
 
Mostly Indians out of their country eat everything including beef, mutton and even pork.........They are only Vegi in their country....have seen many times.....

Indians have a weak culture and religion. That’s why.

Muslims never eat pork.
