He also took the wicket of KL Rahul, but now these players will not be able to bowl, which is sure to suffer a big loss to England. However, the Vox can go to bat according to the need of the team.

Vokes could not do anything amazing with the bat in this series and now he suffered a painful injury in the last match.
