IND vs. Eng 5th Test: ‘Not very great looks’ – Gas Atkinson fears that Chris Woakes may miss the comfort of the final test. Cricket news
Timesofindia.com in London: Gus Atkinson had an immediate impact on his return to England XI, but the team admitted that the team was worried about Chris Woakes’ injury, which was after a stop-start-project at the first day at the Oval. “I don’t know much, but it doesn’t feel great,” Atkinson said at the press conference. “This is the last game of the series, so it is a great shame.” While fielding, Vox left the field late during the day. England was already a bowler after a brilliant performance from Jamie Overton and Josh tongue. Atkinson, however, was a good outing with two wickets and Shubman Gill’s direct-hit run-out. “If we can keep them up to 230-240, we are still in a good position,” he said. India ended the day for 6 at 204, in which Karun Nair produced an unbeaten 52 in the event of testing. This was Nair’s first test fifty in 3,148 days, which was his triple century in 2016. He used to walk with India and kept a significant 51 run stand together with Washington Sundar (19*). Nair’s knock, including seven borders, was a rare moment to calm down in a day when the ball continuously defeated the bat. He brought his half a century with a couple of Jacob Bethel. With only 64 overs possible due to rain, India will be the happiest side after fighting 153 back to 6. England, meanwhile, will be expected that Vox may recover on time to bowl again.
