England fined and docked points for slow over rate against India
Why England’s dramatic Test win over India has landed them in trouble
- England secured a 22-run victory over India in the third Test, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-Test series.
- The England team was fined 10 per cent of their match fee for a slow over rate; England were found to be two overs short after time allowances were taken into consideration.
- They were also docked two points in the ICC World Test Championship standings.
- England captain Ben Stokes admitted to the offence and accepted the penalty without a formal hearing.
- This points deduction caused England to fall from second to third place in the World Test Championship table.
