The fifth test of the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy between England and India is up to their expectations. After the four previous tests have gone to the last day of the game, the fifth final test will not be different from the previous ones. England will hit the last day in need of 35 races to win, with four wickts in your hand. The Indians have managed to withdraw the game after an association of 195 races between Harry Brook and Joe Root away their game. Once the Brook Wickt fell, the conditions became animated and India exploded them well by scaling a couple of more WICKETS. But an important question falls on the availability of Chris Woakes.

With the coincidence of the test so uniform, we are on the cusp of a very important question. Will Chris Woakes hit if England needs it? The English bowling player has dislocated his left shoulder the first day of the test in the oval, and did not participate in the game anymore. But with England on the edge of a famous victory in the series, woakes may need to show some courage on the last day of the series.

Centurion Joe Root attended the press conference after the play of the day and confirmed that Chris Woakes is willing and ready to hit if the team needs it. Woakes was seen in the locker room with whites and is certainly willing to go out to his country if necessary. In the previous trial match, we saw something very similar to the Indian Vicecapitan Rishabh Pant, which went out to bat despite having a fractured finger. These are the moments that make sport what it is.

“You saw it in whites. Chris Woakes is all inside. He is ready to put his body on the line for England,” Joe Root said about the English pacemaker.

How Chris Woakes could have the key to England

35 races to obtain. Four Wickts in the hand. The ball doing a little. A great advantage that the hosts will have on the morning of day 5 is the use of heavy roller. The heaviness of the roller even the surface and will deny any lateral movement at least during the first hour. Fortunately, that is all the time in the world that England needs to do things. Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton will leave in the middle. For the Indians, a great hope will be in the new ball, which is due in 3.4 overs.

But Chris Woakes that will definitely encourage England to take their shots in the first 30 minutes of play on the last day. Woakes that leaves to hold the bat will give the hosts an extra cushion towards the end of the entrances. Waiting for more than just standing in the field will ask for a lot of woakes at this stage. But for England, that could also mean the world.

Let’s say if India attacks a couple of blows in the first three overs of the day. Then it will be reduced to the last three batters to take them home. But, the hosts must ensure that one of the two current hitters remains there until the end. If India manages to obtain Smith and Overton early on day 5, it could mean curtains for England. And the series could be drawn at 2-2. But with the game that trial cricket is, who knows?
