New Delhi: The ICC, on Saturday, delivered a big blow to England after they lost the first Test of the five-match Ashes Test series. Joe Root-led England have been fined 100% of their match fee for slow over rate in the Brisbane Test against Australia. With this, their 5 points of the World Test Championship have also been deducted. England are now at number six in the ICC WTC Points Table with 9 points.

Sri Lanka are on the top in the points table of the World Test Championship with two wins, while Australia, today, won the first Test against England to finish second. Pakistan is at number three, India at number four and West Indies at number five.

"In accordance with Article 16.11.2 of the Terms of Play of the ICC World Test Championship, a point is deducted for any team having reduced an over," an ICC media release said.

Match referee David Boon has fined England 100% of their match fee for bowling 5 overs short of over-rate speed targets. According to Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct, 20% of the match fee is deducted for reducing an over in the stipulated time.
