England captain Eoin Morgan has admitted that he was disappointed with the umpiring decisions that went against his team in their five-run loss to India in the second Twenty20 International in Nagpur on Sunday. India's victory helped level the three-match T20I series 1-1.

IND vs ENG - Complete Coverage

Morgan was extremely frustrated with the LBW decision against Joe Root in the last over of the match.

Chasing 145, England needed eight runs from the final over of the chase and umpire C Shamshuddin ruled in India's favour even though Root had edged the ball before it hit his pad. Since there was no DRS for the T20 series, England couldn't review it.

England lost Root and Jos Buttler in the final over and managed just two runs, as the new batsmen struggled against the variations of Jasprit Bumrah. Root had until then anchored England's chase with his run-a-ball 38.

Earlier, during India's innings, Shamshuddin gave Virat Kohli a reprieve in the third over, when he turned down Chris Jordan's appeal for a LBW. Ball tracking later showed the ball would have gone on to hit the middle stump. Kohli was on 7 then and went on to make 21 from 15 deliveries.

"There is extreme frustration, absolutely," Morgan said after the match. "It shifted momentum, first ball of the 20th over, losing a batsman who's faced 40 balls on a wicket that's not that easy to time it is quite a hammer blow. It's proved very costly all things considered. A couple of decisions didn't go our way and we still should have won the game and that's a big positive for us. That we didn't, is disappointing." Morgan said they would mention the decisions in their feedback to match referee Andy Pycroft.

"We have an opportunity to do that before the next game, there's always feedback given through the match referee on our report,"added Morgan.

The miffed skipper now wants focus on the decider at Bengaluru on February 1.

"We should have won the game anyway. The fact that comes out of today's game as a highlight is disappointing, it shouldn't be like that. It should be a good performance by both teams and a really competitive game. We will draw a line under it tonight and move on to think about what we may come up against in Bangalore," signed off Morgan.

India withdraw Smith protest as boards make peace in DRS row

India have withdrawn an official protest about the actions of Australia captain Steve Smith in the second test as the governing bodies of both countries moved to bring an end to the acrimony surrounding the ongoing four-match series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had earlier registered a complaint to the International Cricket Council (ICC) over Smith looking to the dressing room for guidance on whether to review an lbw decision during the Bengaluru match. Despite the hosts winning the test to level the series at 1-1 on Tuesday, India skipper Virat Kohli alleged the tourists had indulged in the practice throughout the match, sparking a war of words in the media and a robust response from Australia. The boards released a joint statement on Friday saying the chief executives of both bodies had met in Mumbai on Thursday and agreed to try and bring the focus "back to the game" ahead of next week's third test in Ranchi. "India has always cherished a c...
