--- title: "Pakistan penalised for slow over-rate in third Test against England" description: "Most outlets led with the 50% match-fee fine and the 11-point deduction from the World Test Championship for Pakistan’s slow over-rate in the third Test against England. Several also noted the specific venue — Edgbaston or Birmingham — and the fact that the penalty was the maximum allowed. A few, like Minute Mirror and Arab News Pakistan, framed the penalty as a \"major blow\" to Pakistan’s WTC hopes, while others, like Geo News and The Nation, used more neutral language. The framing of the penalty as \"paid a heavy price\" (BOL News) was less common and not echoed by most other outlets." url: https://harzaviya.com/stories/8391-pakistan-lose-11-wtc-points-after-slow-over-rate-in-england site: HarZaviya language: en --- # Pakistan penalised for slow over-rate in third Test against England sports · updated 14 Sep 2026, 4:58 PM PKT · 14 Sep 2026 · 15 articles from 14 outlets **HarZaviya summary** — how 14 outlets covered this, generated automatically from their headlines and excerpts: > Most outlets led with the 50% match-fee fine and the 11-point deduction from the World Test Championship for Pakistan’s slow over-rate in the third Test against England.
