ENG vs IND: England docked two ICC WTC points, fined 10% of the match fee for slow over rate in the Lord's test

England have dropped from second position to third spot in the ICC WTC 2025-27 table.

The England Cricket Team defeated the Indian Cricket Team by 22 runs in the third test of the five-match series at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. However, they have been charged for slow over rate, and players have been fined 10% of their match fee.

The Ben Stokes-led side has been docked two points in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 points table as they were short of two overs in the Lord’s test. Captain Ben Stokes accepted the proposed sanction imposed by Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees.

After the deduction, England’s tally dropped from 24 points to 22 points out of 36 in the ICC WTC 2025-27 points table. Their win percentage also dropped to 61.11% from 66.67%.

As a result, the Ben Stokes-led side has dropped to the third spot from the second position in the latest WTC standings. Sri Lanka have overtaken them and are now in the second spot. They have a win percentage of 66.67.

In the ongoing ICC WTC 2025-27, England have won two games and lost one match so far. India occupy the fourth spot in the points table with a win percentage of 33.33. Out of three games, they have won one match and lost two.

Australia steal the top spot in the ICC WTC 2025-27 points table with a win percentage of 100. They recently completed a 3-0 whitewash in the test series against the West Indies. The latter languishes in the sixth spot.

Meanwhile, England and India are gearing up for the fourth test, scheduled to commence from July 23 at Old Trafford, Manchester. After the ouster of injured Shoaib Bashir, England have added spinner Liam Dawson as a replacement in their squad.

Notably, India have never defeated England in a test match in Manchester. Out of nine games, the hosts have won four matches, while five ended in a draw. England lead the five-match series 2-1.
