Chris Woakes plays with dislocated shoulder in tense England-India finale
Woakes, who has not featured since badly damaging his left shoulder while fielding on Friday, was ruled out of the game the next morning but has remained with the team and was willing to bat at No 11.
'Apparently Chris Woakes went for a hit yesterday to see what he can and can't do,' Alastair Cook said on BBC Radio 5 Live. 'He is batting one handed.'
Phil Tuffnell added: 'As Indian bowlers you go at Chris Woakes. You go for the throat. If you cross the white line you're in the field of play.'
After play ended early on Sunday evening, Joe Root had said of Woakes: 'He's all in, like the rest of us. Clearly, he's in a huge amount of pain. But it means a huge amount to him and it just shows the character and the person that he is, that he's willing to put his body on the line like that for England.'

'Jury is still out in terms of new boys'
We asked for your thoughts on what Leeds' midfield should look like next what you said:Richard: Tanaka was one our best players last season. He should definitely have a place. Longstaff is also a must. The other two should be subs initially, but changing after 60 mins plus, depending on the game. But all the players are good to mix and match in midfield positions! I think Tanaka, Bogle and Willy Gnonto played a fantastic three against Manchester Stach, Tanaka, Ampadu. Simple I was at the game and I thought Aaronson played really well against Villarreal. I know he has his doubters but he gives it his all every game and I think over last season he's really improved. For me, he is a known factor and worth a starting With the focus on midfield and defence in the recruitment so far, determining the midfield starters is challenging. The friendlies have not really cleared that up. Ampadu has looked really solid. Tanaka and Aaronson have both taken their opportunities and looked good. The jury is still out for me in terms of the new boys, and how they can be blended into a starting formation. The Everton game will be revealing.
