“In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time,” the ICC said in a statement on Sunday.
England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Jacqueline Williams and James Middlebrook, third umpire Sue Redfern and fourth umpire Anna Harris levelled the charge.
Invited to bat, India piled on 210 for five, with stand-in skipper Smriti Mandhana hitting 112 off 62 balls, her maiden T20I hundred.
Chasing 211, England were all out for 113 in 14.5 overs, as India took 1-0 lead in the five-match T20I series.
The second match will be played at Bristol on Tuesday. PTI PDS PDS AH AH
