The Indian team has to play a 5 -match Test series against England, which starts from June 20. However, before this Test series, the series of two informal Test matches is also being played between India A and England Lions. The first Test ended in the draw and in the second Test, India A batted first and scored 348 runs in their first innings. While in this match, Team India’s star batsman KL Rahul gave good indications by scoring a brilliant century, while an experienced bowler playing for England Lyus showed that he could prove to be a big threat in the Test series. These bowlers are Chris Woakes.
Chris Woakes shocks three important wickets
England’s veteran fast bowling-all-rounder Chris Woakes took 3 wickets for 60 runs in 20 overs in this match. Vox piled the top order of India-A, the first wicket was that of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Apart from this, he also showed the path of the pavilion to captain Abhimanyu Ishwaran and Karun Nair. The biggest thing was that Vokes dismissed the three players, which is enough to tell that the batsmen are going to be disturbed by their swing. Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for just 11 runs while Ishwaran also scored 11 runs. Karun Nair scored 40 runs.
Record is strong against India
England have announced their team for the first Test against India and Chris Woakes has also been included in it. In such a situation, he can be seen doing well in this series.

Apart from scoring 137 not out in that match, Vox took four wickets, winning England by innings and 159 runs.
Talking about Chris Woakes’ figures against India, he has taken 23 wickets in 9 matches at an average of 33.30. Not only this, he has also scored 320 runs. Vox’s demonstration against India has especially come mainly in England. He has always proved dangerous in his country. Statistics also testify to this. So far, Vox, who took 181 wickets, has shocked 137 of these in England itself.
