PORT ELIZABETH (AFP) - South African wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock was fined 25 percent of his match fee and given one demerit point on Wednesday for his role in the ugly altercation with Australia s David Warner during the first Test in Durban.

De Kock was found guilty of a level one offence under the ICC code of conduct. He had contested the charge and a hearing was held by Crowe on Wednesday evening.

Warner was earlier fined 75 percent of his match fee and given three demerit points for a level two charge of bringing the game into disrepute.
