ICC International Panel: New Zealand have been fined five per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate in the first ODI of their ICC Women’s Championship series against England in Chester-le-Street.

Amelia Kerr's side was ruled to be one over short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration, and Helen Pack of the ICC International Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction.

"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," the ICC said in a statement.
