In recent times, Chris Woakes had spent a significant spell on the sidelines, either because of being deemed a close Covid contact or a freakish injury. But when the all-rounder got his opportunity, he made it a point to grab it with both hands. Having already dominated the wickets column in India’s first-innings, Woakes crafted a valuable half-century lower down the order to help England eke out a satisfactory lead as they were bundled out for 290.
