England let off hook in ball-tampering affair

ENGLAND will face no action over yesterday's ball-tampering controversy in the third Test against South Africa at Newlands, the International Cricket Council said today

South Africa this morning declined to lodge an official complaint over their suspicions regarding Stuart Broad and James Anderson's treatment of the ball.

The ICC subsequently released a statement, reporting the umpires have also decided no charge is justified against any player - and the matter is therefore closed.
