Misbah-ul-Haq fined for slow over rate against England during Oval Test

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee for his team's slow over rate against England during the Oval Test.
Pakistan were officially one over short of the required rate, meaning a 10 per cent match fee fine for the other 10 players who helped the tourists to a 10-wicket victory in the fourth Investec Test and 2-2 series draw.
England's Alex Hales and Stuart Broad were previously fined during the match for their reactions to the opener's dismissal to a controversial low catch in the first innings.
Hales paid £1,500 for confronting the third umpire and Broad £2,000 for an unwelcome tweet about his team-mate's dismissal.
England came into the fourth and final match of the Investec Test series 2-1 ahead on Sunday, but were roundly beaten at The Oval.
Had England avoided defeat they would have held the beaten every other Test playing nation in the last bilateral series, but that is a statistic that would have papered over some basic issues in the side.
