How did Chris Woake injured?
The game on the first day at the oval was extended due to multiple -elie breaks. The versatile Woakes played a total of 14 letters during the day and ended up taking a window for 46 points.
He could have added a few more overs and counters to his count, but that could not happen because of the injury he suffered during the 57th in the first rounds of India.
He hunted a ball halfway to the border towards the end of the day, and plunged to pull the ball just inside the strings. However, his left hand seemed to slide on the damp outer field, and he clumsily landed.
Just after the incident, he looked at big troubles because he was seen hugging his left shoulder in extreme pain. Physio Ben Davies instantly rushed to the Pace to provide him with a certain treatment, and the versatile was taken to the locker room.
I am thinking of all the questions, Chris Woakes included, Atkinson found the length – Michael Vaughan
Woake’s injury arrives like a colossal blow for the English team, as they will be a short bunler for the rest of the series final.
Speaking of the performance of the Pacers of England at the Oval on BBC Test Match Special, Michael Vaughan said that Gus Atkinson, who returned with figures of 2/31 in 19 Overs, was the best bowling player. He developed:
“If you look at Gus Atkinson, he has such an effective action. You look at his race in a way and there is not much that can go wrong.
They are bigger and sometimes it is a little more difficult to find your pace when you are a bigger bowling player, but Gus Atkinson has this effective movement. It is also his land, so he will be comfortable to play oval here. I am thinking of all the questions, Chris Woake included, Atkinson found the length.
“If England is honest in this locker room, they will think that if two of us have played like Gus Atkinson, then we would have them.”
