Warner escapes ban for De Kock confrontation
David Warner has accepted a level two charge against him from the ICC and been fined 75 per cent of his match fee, but has escaped a ban for his part in the stairwell confrontation with Proteas wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock during the first Test in Durban.
Warner, who is Australia’s vice-captain, was also hit with three demerit points, which means if he incurs one more he will face a suspension.

The Aussies won the first Test at Kingsmead by 118 runs with the secnd game of the four-match series set to start at St Georges Park on Friday.
