woakes comes out bat with sling

The moment when an athlete puts his body on the line for the team in any sport is something that all sports fans should celebrate. A similar event was witnessed during the fifth Test between England and India, as Chris Woakes came to bat with a sling during a crucial moment in the game.

‌The last Test at the Oval in London has been a dramatic Test match where both India and England have shown a lot of fight to win the game. The game is down to the last day with 17 runs needed for the hosts to claim the series, while the visitors only needed one wicket to win the game and draw the series 2-2. It all seemed to be over as Prasidh Krishan bowled a straight and full delivery with crashed into his stumps. However, there was still another moment that surprised everyone in London.

The last man for the Three Lions to come out to bat was Chris Woakes, who had injured his shoulder on the first day of the game. There were a lot of speculations on whether Chris Woakes would come into bat in the second innings, looking at his condition. Despite the injury, the 36-year-old right-arm seamer came out to bat with his right arm in a sling and covered under his sweater. The crowd in London rightfully gave the experienced campaigner a standing ovation for showing a lot of courage and putting his body on the line for the team. This move has also given a chance for the Barmy Army a chance to chase down the target with Atkinson looking good at the crease.
