England Test bowler Boyd Rankin has been reprimanded for showing dissent at an umpire's decision.

Rankin was reported by umpires Steve Gale and Steve O'Shaugnessy over his conduct in the LV= County Championship match between Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge last month.

The England and Wales Cricket Board's discipline commission has subsequently ruled that Rankin be reprimanded for the Level 1 offence - a penalty which will remain on his record for the next two years.

The 31-year-old Bears seamer, who played his solitary Test at Sydney in the final match of the whitewash defeat in the 2013/14 Ashes, has also won 61 limited-overs caps for Ireland and England.
