Australia fined for slow over rate in second Test against India

Australia have been fined for a slow over rate during the second Test victory over India in Brisbane.

Steve Smith won his first game as Aussie captain by four wickets as they moved into a 2-0 series lead.

However, the 25-year-old has been docked 60% of his match fee, and his teammates 30%, after the elite panel of ICC referees found Australia to be three overs short of their target.

The batting all-rounder faces a one-match ban if found guilty of another minor over-rate offence during the next year.

India paceman Ishant Sharma has also been fined 15% of his match fee after being penalised for using inappropriate words following his dismissal of Smith during the first innings at The Gabba.
