Chris Woakes- The most senior member of England pace attack- shares that he expects another good surface in Edgbaston
After the first successful match in the five-observance series, Chris Woakes- the most senior member of the England pace attack- is a good to share its expectations about the surface in Edgbaston.
The pitch had a decent grass cover two days before the second test, but it is dry below the surface because the place is heat. Anyway, grass is being trimmed before the toss on Wednesday 2 July.
The match may be one of those competitions between the batting unit of both teams. The bowlers of the England team including Chris Woakes have gained great confidence after taking out India twice in Leeds- both of them witness to fall in the lower order.
,There is good weather around. So, this can be another tough week for bowlers. But we will clearly look at the things that we did well last week and tried to keep those things that we did not do so well this week.“36 -year -old Vox said.
Vokes only got a wicket in Leeds and is expected more as a senior pacer. Captain Ben Stokes got the ball to transfer the most into the first Test, while Josh tongue was effective in cleaning India’s tail.
The team is also remembering the services of the injured Mark Wood and Joffra Archer, who was expected to return to Edgbaston, but was taken out due to a family emergency.
The English team must have been remembering Mark Woods, who has been injured and Jofra Archer who was ready to mark his return in the format after 4 long years, but had to get out due to a family emergency.
,I have played a lot of my England games with Jimmy (James Anderson) and Body (Stuart Broad). It is different that not around them“Vox said.
,But this is also a great opportunity for themselves and it is good to pass a little knowledge for those youth who have not played much Test cricket. And I am learning from them too“He said.
England playing XI for 2 Tests against India:
Zak Croly, Ben Docket, Oli Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (C), Jamie Smith (WK), Chris Woakes, Bridan Cars, Josh Tongs, Shoaib Bashir
