THE OVAL, LONDON, ENGLAND, AUG 3 – Chris Woakes is willing to bat despite a dislocated shoulder as England needs 35 runs to win with four wickets in hand in the final Test against India, Joe Root said.
- Chris Woakes was forced to withdraw from the fifth Test between England and India at The Oval after injuring his left shoulder during the first day of play.

- Joe Root praised Woakes' character, stating, "He's willing to put his body on the line for England," and confirmed Woakes is ready to bat if needed despite the pain.
- If needed, Woakes could bat at number 11, but his injury meant that bowlers Gus Atkinson, Josh Tongue, and Jamie Overton had to take on the main bowling responsibilities during the second innings.
