Chris Woakes dismisses Rohit Sharma in an impressive comeback
Chris Woakes bowled a cracking delivery to dismiss Rohit Sharma in his comeback Test match at the Oval. Woakes' delivery saw some carry and sharp movement as Rohit got a thick edge. English wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow took a simple catch to ensure that the Hitman did not prove dangerous. Woakes has not played a Test match for England for over a year due to fitness issues. However, he was finally recalled to the team after he recovered from a recent heel issue.
