Read our privacy policy England and New Zealand have been deducted three World Test Championship points for slow over rates during their series opener in Christchurch. A statement from the International Cricket Council read: “New Zealand and England were both found to have three overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration, with sides penalised one point for each over they were found to be short. “Both captains – Tom Latham of New Zealand and Ben Stokes of England – pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing.” The ICC said on-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Rod Tucker, third umpire Adrian Holdstock and fourth official Kim Cotton had levelled the charges. Sixth-placed England were already out of contention to reach next year’s ICC World Test Championship final at Lord’s, despite their eight-wicket win at Hagley Oval.
