ENGLAND remain "bitterly disappointed" by the controversial dismissal of Joe Root which tilted the balance of the third Test at the WACA on Saturday.

Root walked off the WACA shaking his head after a marathon third umpire review saw him given out caught behind off what the umpire Marais Erasmus believed was a feathered edge off Shane Watson.

Real Time Snicko picked up no edge on Hot Spot and an unusually scrambled sound wave which was just enough for the decision to stand.

Root was so adamant he did not hit the ball he did not even speak to his captain Alastair Cook before reviewing the decision.

"It was a disappointing and a key dismissal for us," opening batsman Michael Carberry said.

"He felt he did not hit the ball so he reviewed it. Obviously we are bitterly disappointed by that.

"We don't control decisions by the third umpire so it is one of those things we have to swallow I am afraid.

"We were of the opinion he did not hit it. We don't control the decision of the third umpire so it is one of those things we have to swallow I am afraid."

Channel 9's Ian Healy felt Root was unlucky.

"I didn't think technology supported the decision that he should have been out," Healy said.

"I think there was a lack of evidence that could have overturned the umpire's decision. I think Joe Root was hard done by."

Carberry, who made a fighting 43, still feels England are in the game.

"Ideally we would have liked to have lost less wickets but Australia bowled well and it was a good scrap," he said.

"We are still in the hunt. They shut down the scoring and when that happens wickets are likely to come."
