England pacer Stuart Broad was fined 15 per cent of match fee along and handed a demerit point for breaching ICC's Code of Conduct relating to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an International Match," an ICC release stated on Tuesday (August 21).

The incident occurred on the second day of the Trent Bridge Test, which is the third of the ongoing five-match series, following the dismissal of Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. The pacer went up to the departing batsman and exchanged words with him in an aggressive manner.

The charges were laid by the on-field umpires Marais Erasmus and Chris Gaffaney along with third umpire Aleem Dar. Broad accepted the sanction levied by match referee Jeff Crowe, without the need of a formal hearing.
