Stuart Broad had insulted the Pakistani batsman by dismissing him, for which his father had fined him 15 per cent of the match fee.
The list released by the ICC states that the incident took place in the 9th over of Pakistan's second innings. Broad uttered insults after dismissing Pakistan's Yasir Shah. For which he will have to lose 12% match fee. He also has one more de-merit point in his name.
