NEW DELHI: Maintaining a slow over-rate during their pulsating 22-run win over India in the Lord’s Test has cost England two points from their World Test Championship (WTC) tally and 10 per cent fine of their match fee.
A statement from the International Cricket Council (ICC) said as per Article 16.11.2 of the World Test Championship playing conditions, a side is penalised one point for each over short, and after time allowances were taken into consideration.
