Pant reprimanded for breaching ICC Code of Conduct
Pant was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to ' showing dissent at an Umpire's decision during an International Match. '
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Pant's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
The incident occurred towards the end of the 61st over of England's first innings, when the umpires checked the shape of the ball with the ball gauge and decided not to change it. Pant showed dissent at the umpires' decision by throwing the ball on the ground in front of the umpires.
Pant admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
On-field umpires Paul Reiffel and Chris Gaffaney, third umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid and fourth umpire Mike Burns levelled the charge.
Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee, and one or two demerit points.

Incredible batting effort earns India draw in 4th Test against England
An incredible battling effort earned India a hard-fought draw in the fourth Test against England on Sunday, denying the hosts a series victory in the process. After losing two wickets before they had even scored a run in their second innings, India remained undaunted despite trailing England by 311 runs and they batted for over five sessions for the loss of only two more wickets. They closed the final day on 425-4 to secure a draw at Old Trafford. A courageous hundred from skipper Shubman Gill -- his fourth of the series -- and dogged unbeaten centuries from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar late on gave the home crowd very little to shout about on a tough day for the hosts. England did everything they could with the bat, posting 669 in their first innings — their fifth highest test total. A disappointing effort with the ball ultimately cost them victory. A tantalising, closely-contested series remains 2-1 to England. The hosts must avoid defeat in the final Test at the Oval in London, starting on Thursday, to seal the series.

Resolute India battle out a draw in Manchester
The Manchester Test between England and India finished in a draw, ensuring that the series remained alive as it goes into the final game at the Oval. Though India had early hiccups on the final day, a brilliant stand of 203 runs between Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar for the fifth wicket saw India through to a draw. Skipper Shubman Gill, Jadeja and Sundar scored hundreds on a good batting day for India. India began the day trailing by 137 runs with eight wickets in hand. KL Rahul and Gill resumed proceedings against England's bowling attack. The duo were determined to see through the first hour. They saw off the initial overs, but Rahul (90) was trapped leg before by a beauty from Ben Stokes in the 71st over. In the 82nd over of the day, Shubman Gill (722) overtook the tally of Yashasvi Jaiswal (712), to make him the India batter with most runs against England in a Test series. He also became the Asian batter with most runs in England in a Test series. In the very next over, Gill brought about his fourth ton of the series. Now Gill stands only behind Rahul Dravid (6) in the list of India batters with most centuries in England. His fourth century helped him equal Rishabh Pant, Sachin Tendulkar, KL Rahul, and Dilip Vengsarkar. He also became only the third India player to have scored four Test hundreds in a series after Sunil Gavaskar (Twice, in 1971 and 1978/79) and Virat Kohli (in 2014/15). Gill's stand in the second innings came to an end when he tried to cut Jofra Archer but ended up nicking the ball to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith soon after. At lunch, India trailed by 88 runs with six wickets in hand. The second session of play saw Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar settle in for a resolute fifth wicket stand, as England bowlers failed to make the most of the new ball in good batting conditions. Jadeja crossed 1000 runs in England during his knock, making him just the third visiting player after Garry Sobers (in England) and Wilfred Rhodes (in Australia) to score a 1000 runs and pick over 30 wickets in a country. The duo managed to overtake England's lead, and India were 11 ahead at Tea. Both batters had crossed their respective fifties. The final session saw more fight from Jadeja and Sundar, with India crossing 350, a feat they had achieved for the seventh time in the series, the most by a team in Men's cricket. The batters picked pace as they closed on their respective hundreds, with Jadeja achieving the landmark in the 141st over, while Sundar got to it in the 143rd over. As India reached 425/4, with less than an hour left, both sides shook hands to call it a draw. India's resilience on the final day was yet another example of the fight shown by the tourists throughout the Test. Ben Stokes was the Player of the Match for his five-wicket haul and a century to go with it. England lead the series 2-1, with one Test to go. The final Test begins at The Oval on 31st July.

Gill and Rahul steady India after early wobble to frustrate England
A superb 174-run partnership between India captain Shubman Gill and KL Rahul frustrated a previously dominant England on day four of the fourth Test, narrowing the hosts' lead to 137 runs. Chris Woakes took two wickets in two balls in the first over of India's second innings to leave them reeling on 0-2 before lunch, after captain Ben Stokes' first century in two years fired England to 669, their fifth highest test total. Gill and Rahul survived to return for the afternoon session and steadied the ship as India ended the day on 174-2, despite England continuing to create chances. The top scorers in this series settled in as the day wore on and piled on the runs, without being overly troubled. Gill will resume on Sunday unbeaten on 78, with Rahul 13 from his century. Stokes, who took five wickets in India's first innings, elected not to bowl after retiring hurt with cramp when batting on Friday. India's battling recovery takes the fourth Test to a tantalising final day, with England holding a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. "It was very frustrating," England assistant coach Marcus Trescothick said. "We expected to get more wickets after the first over of the innings. "The ball was nipping around but they batted really well. They were positive, but we still felt we could pick one or two up. "He (Stokes) is a bit stiff and sore. He has had a big workload in the last few weeks. Hoping with another night's rest he will be back and can bowl tomorrow." Resuming on 544-7, with Stokes on 77, the skipper looked nervous as he edged towards a long-awaited ton. He pointed to the skies -- in tribute to his father -- when he reached three figures early on Saturday. Stokes became only the fourth England player in Test history to take five wickets and make a century in the same match and was the first captain to do so. After Liam Dawson had been dismissed, Stokes started playing more freely once he had scored his century. He belted a huge six and another four to cross 7,000 Test runs and take the hosts past 600. Stokes joined West Indian great Gary Sobers and South African Jacques Kallis as the only Test players to have scored 7000 runs and take 200 wickets. The boundaries continue to flow, with Brydon Carse getting in on the act before Stokes was out for 141. Carse attempted one six too many and was also caught on the boundary for 47 to bring England's colossal innings to an end. With 15 minutes to navigate before lunch, India crumbled under the pressure. Yashasvi Jaiswal was caught in the slips by Joe Root and Sai Sudharsan followed him back next ball. Gill, who has three centuries already this series, reached his eighth Test fifty in cruise control. Rahul became only the 13th visiting opener to score more than 500 runs in England in a series and the second Indian opening batsman after Sunil Gavaskar. "Both today and tomorrow, we just need to take it hour by hour," India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak told reporters. "They (Gill and Rahul) showed great determination. They batted brilliantly. Rahul has been outstanding in this series."
