Peshawar, Feb 7: Indian maestro Sachin Tendulkar and Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq faced disciplinary measures for showing dissent against umpires' decisions while the Indian cricket team faced fine for slow over-rate during the first one-day international of the five-match series on Monday.

Insiders said the hearing would take place in Islamabad on Tuesday. The two teams were to reach there later Monday evening.

Tendulkar and Inzamam could be either reprimanded or fined or both if found guilty.
 
Tendulkar, who scored 100 but still ended up on the losing side, gestured at his glove to the umpire after being adjudged leg before.

Inzamam, after being adjudged obstructing the field, argued with the umpires against the decision.

The home captain, along with coach Bob Woolmer, after the prize distribution ceremony, stormed into the match officials' room where the two stayed for about 10 minutes.
