Moreover, England team have been fined for a slow over-rate in the breathtaking tie at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
Tim Bresnan received the minimum penalty; he could have been fined up to 50 percent of his match fee, because he reacted apparently in frustration with himself.
The England team were fined for a slow over-rate, deemed to be one over short of their target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration.
England skipper Andrew Strauss, who made a career-best 158, was fined 20 percent of his fee while his players received 10 percent fines.
