Match referee Mike Procter imposed the fines after Michael Vaughan's side were ruled to be two overs short of their target at the scheduled finish of the Australia innings when time allowances were taken into consideration.

In accordance with the International Cricket Council's Code of Conduct, players are fined five per cent of their match fees for every over their side fail to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount.

As such, Vaughan has been fined 20% of his match fee while his players have each received 10% fines.

The offence is contrary to Section J of the ICC Code of Conduct which relates to slow over-rates. For such offences, the decision of the ICC match referee is final and binding.
