England paceman Chris Woakes is set to miss the remainder of the fifth and deciding Test against India at the Oval after suffering a shoulder injury, team managemnt announced on Friday.
Woakes injured himself late on Thursday’s opening day in south London in a desperate bid to prevent a boundary, landing awkwardly and then leaving the field with his left arm in a makeshift sling while in evident pain.
He was then assessed by team medical staff and while Woakes could yet feature again in a dire emergency, an England spokesman, speaking before the start of Friday’s second day, effectively ruled him.
