IND vs Eng 5th Test: Chris Woakes Vox is ready to bat with the left hand, if needed in the Oval Decider. Cricket news
England all -rounder Chris Woakes is set to bat with the left hand when the last day of the fifth Test against India is required. To save a border on day 1, Vox injured his shoulder, and there were questions whether he would be able to bat when needed. But Joe Root confirmed after playing at day 4 that whatever is ready to help the team on the Vox line. “All that is inside. If he has to bat with the left hand, he will do so. It is the kind of character that he is,” Root said. Root also attracted a parallel with Rishabh Pant of India, who came out to bat despite a serious leg injury in the first series. “We saw that Pant does something similar. It shows how much these games mean for the players,” Root said.
Pant climbed the crease during the fourth test and batted with visual discomfort, showing immense bravery. His courage was praised by both the teammates and opponents of the team, and the comparison of the root underlined the honor of such acts.

What do you think what will happen at 5 on the day of test?
Among the 4 -day stumps, England were 339 for 374 chasing 6. Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton were in the middle. The new ball is only due to 3.4 overs, and India still needs four wickets to level the series. Conditions to the air with rain and bowlers, promises the day 5 high drama. Whether Voki is needed or not, his desire to get injured reflects the spirit from this England.
