Sammy was heard on television screens using inappropriate language after playing a shot in the 34th over, while Mooney swore several times when a fielder dropped a catch in the 45th over. Both players admitted to the offences under the ICC Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Chris Broad, meaning there was no need for a formal hearing. AP
