India star, England fined for breaching ICC Code of Conduct
The Indian opener was penalised for two separate incidents that took place within a short period of time. In the 18th over, she made avoidable physical contact with bowler Lauren Filer while taking a single, and after being dismissed in the next over, she made similar avoidable contact with bowler Sophie Ecclestone on her way back to the dressing room.
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Rawal's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.
Meanwhile, the England team were fined five per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate as they were found one over short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.
In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
Rawal and England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt accepted their respective sanctions imposed by match referee Sarah Bartlett, so there was no need for a formal hearing.
Introducing Deepti Sharma | CWC22
The series opener was a closely fought contest, with India holding their nerve in the chase to seal victory.
England posted a competitive 258/6, powered by Sophia Dunkley's 83 and a composed half-century from Alice Davidson-Richards.
India found themselves in trouble at 124/4, but a composed knock from Deepti Sharma (62*) - who was well supported by Jemimah Rodrigues (48), Richa Ghosh (10), and Amanjot Kaur (20*) - guided the visitors to a hard-earned win. NewsWomen's NewsPratika RawalEngland Women

Series on the line as India consider Bumrah gamble in do-or-die fourth Test against England
Jasprit Bumrah is a weapon India must use sparingly but with the five-test series against England on the line, the tourists are considering playing their pace spearhead in the fourth Test in Manchester next week. The team management has decided that Bumrah, whose workload has been carefully managed since he returned from a back surgery earlier this year, will play three of the five Tests in England. A victory in Manchester would give England an unassailable 3-1 lead. To prevent that, India are considering playing Bumrah, who skipped the second Test in Birmingham, in the next match rather than preserving him for the final Test at the Oval. 'We know we have got him for one of the last two Tests,' assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate told reporters after a training session on Thursday. 'It's pretty obvious that the series is on the line now in Manchester, so there will be a leaning towards playing him.' 'But again, we have got to look at all the factors: how many days of cricket are we going to get up there, what do we feel is our best chance of winning that game, and then how that fits in together with the Oval.' Arguably the best all-format bowler of his era, Bumrah registered five-wicket hauls in both the Tests he played on this tour of England, though India lost both in Leeds and Lord's. India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who suffered a finger injury at Lord's, did not bat in Thursday's practice. Ten Doeschate was confident Pant will reprise his usual roles in front of the stumps with the bat and behind them with the keeper's gloves in Manchester. 'Look, I don't think you're going to keep Rishabh out of the Test no matter what,' former Dutch international ten Doeschate said. 'He batted with quite a lot of pain in the third Test and it's only going to get easier and easier on his finger.' Former India head coach Anil Kumble weighed in on the importance of Bumrah's availability for the rest of the Test series and suggested that India's pace spearhead should feature in the remaining two Tests. 'I would certainly push for Bumrah to play the next game because that's crucial. If he doesn't play and India end up losing the Test, that's it, the series would be done and dusted. Bumrah should feature in both the remaining Tests. 'Yes, he mentioned earlier that he would only play three matches, but there is a long break after this. He does not need to be part of the home series if he wants rest. But right now, Bumrah should be playing the next two,' said Kumble on JioHostar. So far, Bumrah has picked up 12 wickets in just four innings, making him the second-highest wicket-taker in the series behind Mohammed Siraj. During the practice session on Thursday, the Indian team had an injury scare as left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh suffered a cut on his bowling hand while trying to stop a ball and was seen with a bandage on. India will now be aiming to bounce back in the fourth Test against England at Manchester, starting on July 23, before the fifth and final match of the series takes place at The Oval in London from July 31 to Aug. 4. Meanwhile, head coach Gautam Gambhir joined other members of the team in praising veteran left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's incredible performance in the Lord's Test. Though Jadeja hit a valiant 61 not out off 181 balls on final day's play, his fourth successive fifty in Tests, India lost at Lord's by 22 runs and find themselves 2-1 behind in the five-match series against England. 'That was an incredible fight. The fight from Jaddu was absolutely brilliant,' said Gambhir in a video posted on on Friday. Jadeja had shown tremendous grit in keeping India in the hunt for chasing 190. 'As a player in the team, Jaddu bhai is extraordinary in fielding, bowling, and batting. The improvement that has come in batting, he makes runs in every important situation for the team. It's very difficult to find such a player for the team. We are lucky to have such a player in our team,' said fast bowler Siraj. Agencies

India ponder Jasprit Bumrah's selection for series-defining Manchester Test against England
India find themselves between a rock and a hard place as they consider whether to select fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the fourth Test against England in Manchester next week with the series on the line. Bumrah has been among the top wicket takers in the series despite playing only two out of the three Tests. However, despite his presence India find themselves trailing the five-match series 2-1 after a heartbreaking 22-run defeat in the Lord's Test. Before the series started, it was announced that Bumrah will play only three out of the five Tests due to workload management; the right-arm quick had injured his back during the previous five-match series in Australia which ruled him out for months. While Bumrah has been among the wickets, he has been unable to have a big impact in the second innings of both Tests he played, and which India coincidentally lost. Now India are left with a tough decision – push Bumrah to play the fourth Test which begins on Wednesday or give him enough rest for bigger white-ball assignments like the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup. If England win the fourth Test, they will take an unassailable lead in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. That would be a tough initiation into Test captaincy for Shubman Gill and possibly cost coach Gautam Gambhir his red-ball duties after heavy defeats at home to New Zealand and in Australia. Which so much uncertainty, India are considering playing Bumrah in the next match rather than preserving him for the final Test at the Oval. 'We know we have got him for one of the last two Tests,' assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said. 'It's pretty obvious that the series is on the line now in Manchester, so there will be a leaning towards playing him. 'But again, we have got to look at all the factors: how many days of cricket are we going to get up there, what do we feel is our best chance of winning that game, and then how that fits in together with the Oval.' England call in reinforcements England have handed spinner Liam Dawson a Test recall after an eight-year absence, with the 35-year-old replacing the injured Shoaib Bashir. Dawson made the last of his three Test appearances in 2017 but Bashir's finger injury has paved the way for a comeback. Bashir took the match-winning wicket in a tense finish at Lord's on Monday evening, having already broken the little finger on his left hand, and is set for surgery in the coming days. England have run through a host of different spinning options since Dawson, but his consistently impressive performances have persuaded the selectors to draft him in for the fourth Test. England also released seamers Jamie Overton and Sam Cook to play in the county championship, with Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson retained as additional pace options in a 14-man squad. Chris Woakes could be rested in Manchester after struggling to find his best form this summer but one player who has no intention of sitting out is Jofra Archer. He played a key role in the thrilling 22-run win at Lord's – his first match back after a four-and-a-half-year injury absence. Archer routinely cleared the 90mph mark, struck with his third ball of the match and took two vital wickets on the final morning. England have carefully managed his return to action but now that he has the taste for it, Archer does not want to rest. 'I don't want to lose this series. I told Keysy (ECB managing director Rob Key) that I wanted to play the Test summer and I wanted to play the Ashes. 'I think one tick is already there and I will do everything possible in my power to be on the plane in November, or just before.'

Rawal was found to have breached Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to 'inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator during an International Match).' In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Rawal's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period. Rawal was charged with inappropriate physical contact, following two separate incidents which took place within a short period. In the 18th over, she made avoidable physical contact with bowler Lauren Filer while running a single, and after being dismissed in the next over, she made similar avoidable contact with bowler Sophie Ecclestone on her way back to the pavilion. Meanwhile, the England team were fined five per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate as they were ruled to be one over short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration. In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
