Chris Woakes of England (photo by Shaun Botterill/Getty Images) Chris Woakes is unlikely that it will continue to participate in the fifth test against India in the oval after suffering shoulder injuries on day 1. England landed embarrassingly as he was sinking on Thursday, and was seen as his left shoulder in pain. He went from the field with his arm in a sling and did not return. On Friday morning, the cricket council in England and Wales (ECB) confirmed that Woakes would not play any other role in the match, even if it will continue to be monitored by the rest of the test. The final assessment will be done after the series. While the ECB statement did not fully exclude Woakes bats, its current condition indicates that it is very unlikely if the situation does not require a one -handed or strongly limited appearance, similar to the courageous shift of Rishabh Pant on one leg in the fourth test on Old Trafford.From now on, England has been preparing for a continuation without it, which means that they will only have to rely on three specialized pitchors for the rest of the game.

What do you expect from the English bowling attack without Woakes?
Its absence is the main blow to England, especially with a series hanging in balance to 2-2. On the day affected by the rain, India published 204 in 6 after being exerted under pressure from the conditions of friendly seams. Karun Nair led resistance with an undefeated 52, while Washington Sundar was 19 on the stump. For England, Josh and Gus Atkinson picked up after two goals.
