West Indies captain Jason Holder has been reprimanded by the ICC for swearing during the second Test against England in Leeds.
The all-rounder accepted the breach of the ICC's code of conduct on the fourth day at Headingley after an edge off his bowling went down.
Dawid Malan was the England batsman dropped when he was on 32 by Kieran Powell after wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich withdrew his gloves at the last moment.
Holder's "inappropriate comments" were heard by on-field umpires Sundaram Ravi and Chris Gaffaney and, as a consequence, one demerit point has been added to the Barbadian's record.
If the 25-year-old receives four or more demerit points within a 24-month period then he faces a suspension.
"During the 70th over of England's second innings, Holder, who was the bowler, twice made inappropriate comments in frustration which were audible enough to be heard by both the on-field umpires," an ICC statement said.
"After the end of the day's play, Holder admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by (match referee) David Boon."
Holder is the second player to be charged by the ICC in this Test, with Ben Stokes receiving a demerit point for a similar offence on day two.
