England seamer James Anderson has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for dissent towards umpire Kumar Dharmasena during the second day of the fifth Test against India at The Oval.
The incident happened in the 29th over of the Indian innings on Saturday when Anderson snatched his cap and jumper from Dharmasena.
He then spoke to him aggressively following an unsuccessful leg-before wicket review against visiting captain Virat Kohli.
"Anderson admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed ... and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing," the ICC said in statement.
In addition to the fine, one demerit point was added to the disciplinary record of Anderson, for whom this was the first offence since the introduction of the revised ICC code of conduct in September 2016.
