Mohammad Rafique has been fined half of his match fee for taunting England batsman Mark Butcher on the first day of the second Test at Chittagong.
Rafique was reprimanded by Wasim Raja, the match referee, after television replays showed him angrily pointing Butcher towards the pavilion after bowling him.
It was the second fine of the series, following a similar punishment handed out to England's Rikki Clarke after he was found guilty of swearing at Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahman during the first Test at Dhaka.
