England opener Jason Roy was fined 30 percent of his match fee for breaching Level One of the ICC Code of Conduct during the World Cup semi-final between the hosts and Australia at the Edgbaston on Thursday, 11 July.

England thrashed Australia by eight wickets to storm into their first final since 1992. They will take on New Zealand at Lord's on 14 July.

Roy, who struck a belligerent 85 in England's successful run chase, was found to have breached Article 2.8 ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to showing dissent at an umpire's decision in an international match.
