    Sports Wednesday, June 5, 2019 15 News in brief Roy, Archer & Ahmed fined for breaching ICC code LONDON: Jason Roy and Jofra Archer have each been fined 15 percent of their match fees for incidents during England’s World Cup defeat by Pakistan at Trent Bridge. The International Cricket Council found opener Roy had breached level one of its code of conduct, using an audible obscenity after a misfield during Pakistan’s innings. Fast bowler Archer was found guilty of dissent towards an umpire’s decision following a wide delivery. Both players have also had one demerit point added to their records. Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was fined 20 percent of his fee, and his teammates 10 percent, for a minor over-rate offence. Pakistan won Monday’s match by 14 runs after setting England a target of 349. It was an occasionally fractious encounter, with the umpires warning England skipper Eoin Morgan about his side throwing the ball in on the bounce and later issuing the same reminder to Sarfaraz. The tactic is often used to scuff up the ball and promote reverse swing. England batsman Jos Buttler appeared to take a look at the ball on his walk back to the pavilion after his knock of 103 came to an end. English crowds “stupid” to boo Warner, says manager MELBOURNE: English crowds are “stupid” to jeer David Warner at the Cricket World Cup as it will only fire him up, the Australian batsman’s manager James Erskine has said. Warner, who has returned to the side following a 12-month ban for ball-tampering, was Sri Lanka’s Nuwan Pradeep (right) celebrates with teammates after taking the wicket of Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan for two runs during the booed by the crowd during Australia’s opening match against Pakistan in Bristol but struck an 2019 Cricket World Cup group stage match at the Sophia Gardens Stadium in Cardiff, south Wales, on Tuesday.

Full, swinging in, and Kohli reviews. Root's head falls over while trying to work the ball into the leg side, and the ball goes past his inside edge and hits pad in front of middle and leg. Was that hitting leg stump or going down? Looks very close to me. No inside-edge. Let's see what ball-tracking says.
