Stokes fined along with points deduction
England have been fined 10 percent of their match fees for not completing their overs in the time they were supposed to take the field. According to Article 16.11.2 of the World Test Championship Playing Conditions, if an over is not completed within the allotted time, 1 point will be deducted for each over that is not completed. England captain Ben Stokes admitted his guilt, so no further hearing was needed. He accepted the punishment given by the match referee of the Lord’s Test, Richie Richardson.
After winning the Lord’s Test, England now awaits Manchester. The fourth Test of the series will begin there on July 23. However, before this Test, England received some bad news. Off-spinner Shoaib Bashir has been ruled out of the series with a finger injury. Spin bowling all-rounder Liam Dawson has been included in the team in his place.
