Australian skipper Tim Paine has been fined 15 per cent of match fee for expressing his dissent at the umpire's dissent after a failed review during the Day 3 of the third Test as the SCG, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Sunday.

According to ICC, Paine breached article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct -- which relates to showing dissent during an international match -- and one demerit point was added to his disciplinary record.
It happened in the 56th over of India's first innings on Saturday after Paine was confident that Pujara edged a Nathan Lyon delivery to Matthew Wade at short leg, but on-field umpire Paul Wilson ruled not out. The wicketkeeper (Paine) was quick to review the decision, however, DRS ruled it in favor of the batsman due to no evidence on Snicko or HotSpot.

This decision left Paine fuming and made an expletive comment which was picked by the stumps' mic in decision-making.
