In July 2023, England faced India in a much-anticipated Test match at Lord’s. The third Test in this series saw England being penalized for their slow over rate, resulting in a fine and a deduction of two ICC World Championship points. During the match, England only managed to bowl 72.3 overs on the second day, with further overs lost on the opening and subsequent days due to delays in play. Harry Brook, an England player, publicly acknowledged the slow over rate as inadequate, emphasizing that both teams needed to improve on this and should be able to complete the required 90 overs each day.
