copy 3rd of Test: 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.

Walking wounded - Chris Woakes, Malcolm Marshall and others who became heroes after batting despite injuries
The image of Chris Woakes, the one-armed man who battled through the agony of a dislocated shoulder to try to win a game for England, was a compelling one. As he stepped out of the dressing to a roar of admiration at The Oval on Monday morning, with his left arm in a sling and stuffed under his sleeveless England jumper, it is possible he was making his last act as a Test cricketer. It is debatable whether his brand of swing and seam - so well suited to UK conditions, but less so abroad - would have been fancied for this winter's Ashes tour to Australia anyway. That was before all the recuperation he will now be bound for between now and the series starting. Woakes will turn 37 in March. By then, he might find England's Bazballers have moved on without him. If it was the last time he is to be spotted in whites by the broader cricket public, then he has definitely signed off as a hero. Such acts of heroism tend to live long in the memories of cricket fans. Here are some of the most unforgettable acts of players defying pain from the sport's past. Colin Cowdrey (England v West Indies, 1963) Like Woakes, the England captain came out to bat in the dying moments of a Test against one of the most feared bowling attacks in the sport of the time – and did not face a ball. England needed six to win with three balls left of a thrilling Lord's Test against West Indies, when a run out brought their captain back out to the wicket. He had had his left arm broken earlier in the innings. He smiled as he emerged from the pavilion, his left arm in plaster, and watched from the non-striker's end as David Allen blocked the final two deliveries from Wes Hall to bring about a draw. Rick McCosker (Australia v England, 1977) At the Centenary Test in Melbourne, Rick McCosker had his face smashed by a bouncer on the first morning. He spent a day and a half in hospital, having his jaw rewired. Then, with his helmetless face wrapped in bandages, he came out to bat in Australia's second innings and shared in a 50-partnership with Rod Marsh. Australia eventually won the game by 45 runs, and McCosker later reflected that he was just doing his job. Although his bandaged face did send his two young kids running away scared of him. Malcolm Marshall (West Indies v England, 1984) Fielding in the gulley in a Test at Headingley, fast bowler Malcolm Marshall sustained a double fracture to his left thumb. Not even that could stop him – and his irresistible West Indies side – from continuing to steamroller England. With his left wrist in plaster, he came out to bat with a smile on his face. He hit a one-handed four, and also took seven wickets. Salim Malik (Pakistan v West Indies, 1986) This is a paradox: Salim Malik is known to most as a player who was banned for life from cricket for match-fixing. And yet he was once selfless enough to go out to bat one handed, against the fastest attack in the world (one of which, coincidentally, was Marshall), with a broken arm, in order to help a young teammate to a milestone. He did so in the Faisalabad Test of 1986 for Pakistan against the West Indies, batting left-handed for long enough to see Wasim Akram make his maiden Test half-century. Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh v Sri Lanka, 2018) The Dubai International Stadium might only be a little over 16 years old, but it has already built up a hefty body of work. There have been a few acts of heroism already in that time, but none more memorable than Tamim Iqbal at the 2018 Asia Cup. Opening the batting for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka, he was struck a brutal blow on the hand. He was rushed to hospital in Dubai where the break to his left index finger was confirmed, and he was ruled out of the tournament. Except he returned two hours later to help his side eke out a few extra runs at the end of their innings, wearing a quickly modified glove with all four fingers – barring the thumb – popping out of the padding. Rishabh Pant (India v England, 2025) Fans do not have to consult the history books to recall another vivid act of heroism. This has been a summer chock-full of them. Rishabh Pant started it, when he hobbled out to bat at Old Trafford despite having broken his foot earlier in the innings, and made a half century. To be fair, a broken foot is a minor ailment for someone who has battled back from nearly losing their life in a car crash to return to the top of cricket. Where he led, Ben Stokes followed, first retiring hurt only to return in the same innings and make a hundred at Old Trafford, before Woakes applied the coup de grace on Monday.

David fined for breaching ICC Code of Conduct
Australia player Tim David has been fined 10 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the fifth T20I against the West Indies in St. Kitts on 28 July. David 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 David's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period. The incident occurred in the fifth over of Australia's innings, when Alzarri Joseph bowled a delivery to David down the leg side which was not called a wide. David showed dissent by stretching his arms out and signaling for it to be called a wide and then walked towards the umpire with his arms still stretched out. David admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Reon King of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing. On-field umpires Zahid Bassarath and Leslie Reifer, third umpire Deighton Buttler and fourth umpire Gregory Brathwaite 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. NOTES TO EDITORS: * When a player reaches four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, they are converted into suspension points and a player is banned ** Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player *** Demerit Points to remain on a Player or Player Support Personnel's disciplinary record for a period of twenty-four (24) months from their imposition following which they will be expunged

India hail Shubman Gill and his 'Supermen' after Oval heist
An euphoric India heaped praises on Shubman Gill and his men after they pulled off an edge-of-the-seat thriller at the Oval on Monday to split an all-time classic series with England. Odds were stacked against India in their first Test series under Gill, who inherited a team depleted by the retirement of batting stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli - two men who preceded him in that role. As if the gaping holes in their batting order were not bad enough, veteran seamer Mohammed Shami was deemed unfit for the tour, while pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was available only for three of the five Tests as part of his workload management. Gill and his men went on to record memorable victories at Edgbaston and the Oval to secure a 2-2 series draw and assure their legions of fans that the future of Indian cricket was in safe hands. The indefatigable Mohammed Siraj led their lion-hearted bowling effort in the series finale to script a six-run victory amid high drama. Batting great Sachin Tendulkar led tributes to the team and said the quality of cricket on offer was "absolute goosebumps". "Series 2–2, Performance 10/10! SUPERMEN from INDIA! What a win," the former India captain wrote on X. England needed 35 runs on Monday to secure a 3-1 series win with four wickets in hand but Siraj struck three times to secure a famous victory for his team. "In a nail-biting, riveting hour of cricket at England's oldest Test match ground, in characteristically cloudy Olde Blighty weather, India pulled off a historic heist," the Hindustan Times newspaper wrote. An Indian Express headline read "Miracles Do Happen" and the newspaper explained how Gill had stepped up as captain of a 'gun team'. The Hindu waxed eloquent on the "Mission accomplished". "After 25 days of riveting action, the best was saved for the last as Shubman Gil's men rode Mohammed Siraj's sensational spell to pull off a remarkable victory," it said.
