      <title>England lose Test Championship points for slow over-rate</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LONDON: England have been docked two World Test Championship points and fined 40 percent of their match fee due to a slow over-rate in their second Test win against New Zealand.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Match referee Richie Richardson imposed the sanction after the home side were ruled to have been two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;International Cricket Council rules state that players are fined 20 percent of their match fee and the team loses a Test Championship point for every over they fail to bowl in the alloted time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;England won a thrilling match at Trent Bridge by five wickets on Tuesday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, thanks to an astonishing display of hitting from Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;England batsman Joe Root is back at the top of the ICC Test batting rankings after scoring 176 in the first innings in Nottingham, which followed a century in the first Test at Lord’s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The former England captain is on 897 points, five clear of Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The third and final Test between England and New Zealand starts at Headingley on June 23.&lt;/p&gt;
