Ben Stokes and Mitchell Johnson have been cleared of any misconduct after an International Cricket Council hearing into their collision on day four of the Adelaide Test, it is understood.

Under the ICC code of conduct, a maximum penalty of a one-Test ban or full match fee fine was possible for either player.
