In the 3rd test of the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy played at Lord’s. England clinched a thriller by 22 runs against India as the latter was bowled out for 170 runs. Though England got the victory, they got dropped to 3rd place in the WTC rankings as the ICC penalized Ben Stokes led side and deducted points for slow over rate and fined 10% of the match fees. Due to the points deduction England dropped from 24 to 22 out of 36 points and now the percentage of the team fell to 61.11% from 66.67%. Apart from two points deduction, England is fined with 10% of the match fees.
This came under Article 16.11.2 of the ICC World Test Championship playing conditions, by which a side is penalised one point for each over short, and after time allowances were taken into consideration.
As per Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
England’s skipper accepted the sanctions imposed on his team, and now Sri Lanka has surpassed them on the points table to stand in second position.
The third test was one of those test matches that kept the audience glued to their seats until the very end. Despite being a low total to chase, the Indian batting line-up struggled. England’s bowlers kept the heat on, putting pressure on the Indian side. However, lower-order batters showed resistance to take India closer to the target, especially Ravindra Jadeja, who carried the hopes of his team and scored a fifty, but from the other end, he didn’t get much support as India was bowled out for 170 runs, losing the match by 22 runs.
