England suffered a fresh blow to their Test series aspirations when all-rounder Chris Woakes was forced to leave the pitch with a suspected shoulder dislocation. This incident occurred during the opening day of the fifth and final Test against India at The Oval.
Woakes injured his left shoulder while diving to save a boundary shot by Karun Nair. He exited the field visibly in pain, casting concern among teammates as India reached 204 for 6 at stumps on a rain-affected day.
Woakes' injury intensifies England's woes, compounded by the absence of key players like captain Ben Stokes, who is also sidelined with a shoulder injury. Gus Atkinson remains upbeat about filling the gap left by Woakes as England leads the series 2-1.
