England penalised for slow over-rate

England's players have been fined for their slow over-rate during the seven-wicket defeat to Australia in Antigua on Sunday. Mike Procter, the ICC match referee, found the team to be two overs short at the scheduled finish after taking into account all the delays and stoppages.

According to the ICC Code of Conduct, the players are fined 5% for every over they fail to bowl in the allotted time while the captain is slapped with twice the amount. Michael Vaughan was docked 20% of his match fee while the rest of the side was handed a 10% penalty.

Australia lost only three wickets as they chased down the target of 248 in 47.2 overs. England's next game is a must-win affair against Bangladesh on Wednesday.
