CHRIS Read has received a penalty under the ECB's discipline code following an incident in Nottinghamshire's away match at Headingley against Yorkshire in the County Championship.
Skipper Read was reported by umpires Martin Saggers and Alex Wharf during the Division One clash for a Level 1 breach of the code – showing dissent at an umpire's decision by word or action.
This followed on from Read's dismissal when run out in controversial circumstances.
He was going for a run when he was obstructed by Steve Patterson – the bowler under no obligation to move.
Jack Leaning managed a direct hit as Read dived in and after a moment of consideration the umpire said he was short of his ground.
The Notts skipper was clearly aggrieved by the decision and he has now been handed a reprimand for his reaction.
The penalty will remain on his record for a period of two years and the accumulation of nine or more penalty points in any two year period will result in an automatic suspension.
