England have been fined for slow over-rate during the second one-day international against India in Cuttack on Thursday (January 19), the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced a day after the match.

The ICC, in its release, stated that the visitors were one over short of there target when time allowances were taken into consideration. England skipper Eoin Morgan has been fined 20 percent of his match fees while his teammates have received a ten percent fine.

“In accordance with Article 2.5.1 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minor over-rate offences, players are fined 10 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount,” the ICC statement read.

“As such, Morgan has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee, while his players have received 10 per cent fines. Morgan pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.”

Meanwhile, the visitors would be looking to end the ODI series on a high when they take on the hosts in the third and final ODI in Kolkata on Sunday. India have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series after winning the second match by 15 runs. Riding on Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s centuries, India posted a mammoth 381 but England, led by a brilliant ton from their skipper, gave the hosts a run for their money before eventually falling short by 15 runs.
