West Indies vs England: Chris Woakes answers critics with quick wickets after wasteful first spell
Chris Woakes confounded his critics by picking up three wickets in 14 balls on day two of the deciding Test against West Indies in Grenada on Friday. Woakes came into the match surely knowing his place in the team was on the line after taking only two wickets for a total of 272 runs in the first two Tests, and he hardly helped his cause with a poor opening spell on Friday morning. Initially bowling too wide of off stump, he did not make West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite play at a ball in the first over.
