Featuring for the England Lions,  performance was a promising sign ahead of the upcoming Test series, as he gears up for a potential spot in England\u2019s XI for the Headingley clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his early inroads, Woakes was kept at bay by KL Rahul\u2019s composed and fluent 116 on a pitch that offered consistent movement. \u201cKL played really well, good hundred, on a wicket which did a little bit all day,\u201d Woakes told ESPNcricinfo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from India\u2019s touring party,  acknowledged it was unfortunate but highlighted the strength of India\u2019s bench. \u201cWe\u2019ve had some good battles against Virat and Rohit over the years. For the game itself, it\u2019s a shame they won\u2019t be there. But Indian cricket has so much depth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chris-with-a-ticked-box-with-three-wicket-performance\">Chris  with a \u2018ticked box\u2019 with three-wicket performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"657\" src=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-37-1024x657.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-37-1024x657.png 1024w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-37-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-37-768x493.png 768w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-37-1536x986.png 1536w, https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-37-2048x1315.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/index.php\/2025\/06\/07\/clarke-ms-dhonis-ipl\/\">If Chris Woakes is included in England\u2019s XI for the first Test, he will draw confidence from his strong outing against India A \u2014 particularly the prized wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Woakes produced a sharp inswinger that trapped Jaiswal LBW, a delivery that highlighted his rhythm after a lengthy injury layoff.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The veteran seamer also dismissed Abhimanyu Easwaran and Karun Nair, both LBW as well, showcasing his trademark control and movement. Reflecting on his performance, Woakes said, \u201cI enjoyed all three to be honest. I felt like I could have had a couple more, but pleased with how the ball came out. Most important for me was to get through 17 overs. Ticked box for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sign-up-fast-for-e-2-bet-77-now-and-claim-your-free-bonus-with-your-first-registration\">Sign up fast for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/e2bet77.net\/\">e2bet77<\/a>\u00a0now and claim your free bonus with your first registration!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Woakes claimed three key wickets on Day 1 of the ENG-A vs IND-A second unofficial Test, but KL Rahul&#8217;s composed century blunted his impact.
