India's Siraj fined for fiery Duckett send-off
The incident occurred on Sunday when Siraj took opener Duckett's wicket and roared in his face in celebration, with the pair bumping shoulders as the England batter walked back to the pavilion.
The International Cricket Council said Siraj had breached its Code of Conduct relating to the use of 'language, actions or gestures' which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a dismissed batter.
India require 135 runs to win the third Test later on Monday, while the hosts need six wickets, as both sides look to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
England won the first Test by five wickets at Headingley, with India levelling with a 336-run victory at Edgbaston.

ICC confirms dates for cricket competition at LA28
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has officially confirmed the schedule for cricket's return to the Olympic Games at Los Angeles 2028, with the men's and women's T20 tournaments set to run from July 12 to July 29, 2028. This marks a historic moment for the sport, returning to the Olympics 128 years after its only previous appearance at the 1900 Paris Games, where Great Britain won gold against France in a one-off match. The women's medal match is scheduled for July 20, while the men's final will be played on July 29. Both events will take place at the Pomona Fairplex, located approximately 50 kilometers from downtown Los Angeles. Each tournament will include six teams per gender, with 90 athlete quotas allocated to each, allowing countries to field 15-player squads. In the group stage, teams will play two sides from the opposite pool, excluding the team that finished in the same corresponding position. For example, Group A winners will face the second- and third-placed teams in Group B, and vice versa. Results from all matches will determine the final standings. The top two teams will qualify for the final to contest the gold and silver medals, while the third- and fourth-placed teams will compete for bronze. The tournament will feature double-headers on most matchdays, with matches scheduled to begin at 9:00 AM and 6:30 PM local time. The inclusion of cricket at LA28 is seen as a significant step in expanding the sport's global reach, offering exposure on one of the world's largest sporting stages. While the qualification process is yet to be finalised, discussions are expected at the ICC's Annual Conference in Singapore, starting July 17. In a statement, LA28 confirmed that the gender sequence and detailed schedule will be announced later this year. "The gender sequence for events in the 2028 Games is not yet available. As stated in today's release, 'A more detailed schedule with medal events and gender order will be released later this year,'" LA28 said. It is anticipated that the T20I rankings at a specific cut-off date will be used to determine the six participating teams. A key question remains whether the USA, as host nation, will receive automatic qualification, which could reduce the number of spots available to other nations.
