Chris Woakes could miss rest of Oval Test after sustaining shoulder injury
Woakes is the only member of the home attack to play every match of a gruelling series but he could now be consigned to an early exit after taking a nasty tumble while fielding on the boundary edge. The 36-year-old was led back to the dressing room in a makeshift sling amid fears of a dislocation. A scan was being arranged to determine the extent of the damage with further updates expected on Friday morning. If he is ruled out it would leave the hosts with a sizeable hole to fill when they resume with India 204 for six, particularly given some erratic bowling displays from Josh Tongue and Jamie Overton. Gus Atkinson (right) starred for England on day one (Ben Whitley/PA) Gus Atkinson, easily the pick of the bowlers with two for 31 in 19 overs as well as the key run out of Shubman Gill, said: 'It doesn't look great. I will be surprised if he takes any part in the game. 'It's a big shame when anyone gets injured. I'm hoping it's not too bad but whatever it is he'll get the full support from everyone.' Should Woakes be ruled out, as looks increasingly likely, Atkinson will find himself as the most senior member of the attack in just his 13th appearance. He is only just back from a niggling hamstring problem that dates back to May's one-off Test against Zimbabwe but stands ready to take a greater burden as England attempt to turn their 2-1 lead into a 3-1 series win. Chris Woakes is currently off the field after sustaining a suspected shoulder injury while diving for the ball by the boundary. Wishing you all the best, Woakesy 👊 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 31, 2025 'I feel fresh, I feel good and I know I've only got this one game to play so I can push the limits a bit,' he said. 'It was disappointing to miss the first four games of the series, I've never really had a muscle injury like that before, but to come back for this important game at my home ground is nice. 'I felt like I bowled well and challenged the batters at times.' The same was not true of Overton, whose 16 wicketless overs for 66 were a fair reflection of a poor return to the Test arena after three years away. Josh Tongue had a mixed day (Ben Whitley/PA) Tongue had a mixed day, serving up some chaotic spells that included 12 runs in wides but also conjuring a pair of magical deliveries to dismiss Sai Sudharsan and Ravindra Jadeja. 'It can be a tough ground to bowl on at times because of the way the ball moves, sometimes it's off the pitch and sometimes it can swing a lot after it's pitched,' said a sympathetic Atkinson. 'The footholds weren't easy at times, it was quite slippy out there and that can affect the radar when bowling but he got some very important wickets for us which was great.'

Bamber ton helps Bears avoid follow-on at Essex
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Ambassador Cruise Line Ground, Chelmsford (day three)Essex 602-6d: Westley 148, Allison 133, Pepper 107*; Webster 2-55Warwickshire 465-9: Bamber 107, Barnard 90*; Critchley 5-156Warwickshire (4 pts) trail Essex (6 pts) by 137 runs with one wicket remainingMatch scorecard Ethan Bamber, nominally batting as nightwatchman, enjoyed the day of his life in recording his maiden first-class century to help Warwickshire narrowly avoid following on at Matt Critchley, the main spin option in the absence of Simon Harmer, taking 5-156 from 37 overs, Ed Barnard made sure Warwickshire past the 453-run target to make Essex bat again with just number 11 batsman Oliver Hannon-Dalby for the team primarily as an opening bowler, the 26-year-old Bamber had never surpassed the 46 not out he compiled against Surrey two summers ago when with Middlesex. But he was unflustered and correct in defence and attack in remaining at the crease for nearly four hours for his crucial 107 that makes a draw on the fourth day was not overawed in a 64-run stand for the third wicket with Dan Mousley, who hit 75 from 88 balls, and 80 for the fifth-wicket with Beau Webster, whose contribution was player to relish the day was 20-year-old South Asian Cricket Academy graduate Vansh Jani, looking like an old hand and marking his county debut with 41 in a 86-run stand with Barnard, who was 90 not out when bad luck ended play at 6.54pm with Warwickshire a day shorn of seven overs by morning rain, Essex toiled with the Kookaburra ball on a benign track just as Warwickshire had on the first two days in conceding 602-6 play started 40 minutes late, Warwickshire added 29 runs in nine overs before the rain returned. Bamber, promoted up the order after Alex Davies's late dismissal the previous evening, claimed 22 of those runs, overshadowing Mousley, who had been scoring at a run-a-ball before stumps on day play resumed after the delay, Mousley increased his day's output from six runs to 14 in the first over from Porter with back-to-back straight drives for boundaries. As he rediscovered his earlier fluency and strike-rate, Mousley reverse-swept Critchley for another the left-hander lasted just two balls after lunch before he slashed wildly at Snater and was caught at first slip by Paul Walter. Next delivery, Zen Malik prodded forward tentatively, the ball caught his outside edge and he departed to the same bowler-fielder fours in the next over from Snater, one streaky between the slips and gully, the other a firm cover-drive, took Bamber first to his top score and then to confidence now flowing, Bamber pulled and swatted Noah Thain for boundaries before another pull off the same bowler brought up both Warwickshire's first batting point and the half-century partnership with was equally untroubled, going up on his toes to square-cut Snater for four and treating Cook's first delivery with the second new-ball with disdain as it raced to the extra-cover boundary. However, Cook took his revenge when digging in a short one which the Australian all-rounder followed and edged at shoulder height to second first real mis-stroke, a wild lunge outside off-stump for his 18th and final boundary, took him to three figures. But with just seven more runs added, and having faced 207 balls, he got a leading edge and gave a return catch to Smith thrashed his first two balls to the cover boundary, but he clipped his sixth to midwicket where Charlie Allison plucked the ball out of the air as it past him to give Snater a third looked like the moment for Essex to take control before Barnard and Jani collected some soft runs in their 20-over, eighth-wicket stand. The rookie all-rounder became Critchley's fourth wicket when he was lbw playing down the wrong line. Corey Rocchiccioli was number five when he patted back to the bowler before the late mini-drama as Barnard saw Warwickshire over the line.
