New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson has been fined 25 percent of his match fee for throwing the ball towards Pakistan batsman Faheem Ashraf "in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner".
The 25-year-old had breached Article 2.9 of its code of conduct on Monday, the third day of the first test.
Jamieson admitted the offence and accepted the sanction that was proposed by match referee - former New Zealand captain, Jeff Crowe.
The incident occurred when Jamieson, after fielding the ball on his follow-through, threw it in the direction of Faheem Ashraf at high speed, when the batsman was away from the stumps, but within the popping crease and not intending to take a run.
An ICC statement said one demerit point was added to the bowler's disciplinary record.
It was Jamieson's first offence at the international level.
When a player accumulates four or more demerit points within two years, they are converted into suspension points which could lead to a ban.
Pakistan were 71/3 after Tuesday's play in Mount Maunganui, still 302 runs away from their victory target of 373.
The second and final test begins in Christchurch, at Hagley Oval on January 3.
