Resultantly India and England were awarded four points each for the draw. But the ICC penalized both teams for the slow over-rate and deducted two points from their tallies. In addition to that, match referee Chris Broad has also imposed a 40% fine on the match fees of Indian and England players.
A statement issued on the ICC’s official website read:
India and England will now move on to Lord’s, where they will clash in the second Test of the series starting Thursday (12 August). Both teams will be eyeing a victory to take the lead in the series.
England call-up Moeen Ali to the Test squad for the second Test against India
After struggling to find the right balance in the first Test due to the absence of Ben Stokes, England’s team management has called up Moeen Ali for the second Test. They will be hoping that the off-spinning all-rounder’s inclusion will plug holes in the line-up and provide much-needed balance to the side.
Ollie Pope has also returned to the mix after missing the first Test due to a niggle.
England squad for the second Test - Joe Root (Yorkshire), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), James Anderson (Lancashire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Dom Bess (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Rory Burns (Surrey), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Zak Crawley (Kent), Sam Curran (Surrey), Haseeb Hameed (Nottinghamshire), Dan Lawrence (Essex), Jack Leach (Somerset), Craig Overton (Somerset), Ollie Pope (Surrey), Ollie Robinson (Sussex), Dom Sibley (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham).
