England take up umpiring in day-night Test with match referee Srinath but no official complaint

England skipper Joe Root and head coach Chris Silverwood sought umpiring “consistency” in the ongoing day-night Test against India by taking up the matter with match referee Javagal Srinath, “who said that the captain was asking the right questions” of the on-field officials. England were unhappy with two decisions made by third umpire C. Shamshuddin on the opening day of the match on Wednesday. While India opener Shubman Gill survived a low slip catch appeal by Ben Stokes in the second over, Rohit Sharma’s close stumping appeal by Ben Foakes was turned down late in the day.
