England docked WTC points for maintaining slow over-rate during Lord’s Test vs India – check updated standings

The England cricket team suffered a deduction of a couple of World Test Championship (WTC) points after the third game of the ongoing five-match series against India at Lord’s. The deduction reduced England’s PCT by more than five per cent, and the hosts dropped from the joint-second place to the third for maintaining the slow over-rate. Apart from gripping cricket on show, the Lord’s Test also made headlines for the Dukes ball getting changed multiple times, an increase in the number of drinks and loo breaks and other such stuff, which meant only 75 overs were bowled on the second day.
