There's an ump at the end where the bowler is bowling from.
There's another ump by the batter wickets but he is standing around the batters end wherever he feels he has the best view from. Which is usually ~ parallel to the betters wicket about 20 ft away.
Theres the third umpire who can be referred to by the two field umpires if they need assistance.
Now days cricket has brought in reviews, so players can question the decision and it'll go third umpire and he'll decide if there is enough evidence to overturn the original on field decision.
Also cricket has been called the gentlemen's game, so if you know you've nicked the bat and the umpire doesn't raise his finger you should walk off but it doesn't happen much anymore. Kudos to Tendulkar in the world cup who did so but Ponting against Pakistan refused it and after the match said "he never walks". Walking in basically admitting your out. It also happens on catches, the catcher will usually let the umpire or batter know if it was a clean catch or not. But thats going out the window and thus players stay ont he pitch until they're given out by the umpire.
Two big wins by Kings XI Punjab chasing down two big totals.
