Chris Woakes injured, out of match
At the end of the first day’s game, England suffered a major setback when his veteran all -rounder Chris Woakes was out of the match due to injury. The incident happened when Volks were chasing the ball from mid-off towards the boundary, but due to wet outfield he slipped and fell on his shoulder.
Treatment done in dressing room
Immediately after the injury, England team’s physio Ben Davis reached the ground and examined the Vox. He was then taken to the dressing room, where he was given first aid. On Friday morning, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) officially confirmed that Vox would not participate in this Test match, even not as a batsman.
ECB statement
ECB said in its statement that the medical staff will continue to monitor the Vox during the match and after the series is over, a decision will be taken regarding their rehab.
Rishabh Pant has also been injured
Significantly, Chris Woakes is the same bowler who injured Team India’s star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant in the fourth Test match, where Pesar’s ball was in Pant’s leg. Now Vox himself is out of the 5th Test, which has caused a big shock to England’s bowling attack.
