NEW DELHI: Former England captain Michael Vaughan questioned why England were penalised for a slow over-rate, claiming that both India and England maintained similarly slow over rates during the Lord’s Test.

England have been fined 10 per cent of their match fee and penalised two ICC World Test Championship points for maintaining a slow over-rate against India in the third Test at Lord’s. The hosts were ruled to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.

"Let’s be honest both teams over rates at Lords were very very poor .. How only 1 team has been reprimanded is beyond me..." Vaughan posted on X.
