Can Chris Woakes play on Sunday..... if so, I suppose that means Yorks could also have their test players.....Mmmmm.

There's no way England can say he needs to be rested!

In this case, I think Woakes needs to play, but I think more generally there is a problem with the England multi-format players. He's in a worse place but Ben Stokes has been in similar place to Woakes this year: played and hasn't played, got injured, rushed back all against a background of travel and family turmoil and he's cracked. I read a piece in the Standard on Wednesday the Stokes is nowhere near a return yet, suggests a bigger problem than first thought.

As you say though, Root vs Woakes would be a nice little test for them both at the end of the season.
