England is dealing with some bad news before their fourth Test clash with India. There are reports that all-rounder Chris Woakes may be unavailable due to an injury, as he skipped today's training session citing pain in his right thigh. Meanwhile, India is riding a wave of momentum after a stunning recovery in the third Test following two early losses, making a victory in this next match essential for them to stay in the series. If Woakes cannot play, the door opens for young talent Sam Curran to rejoin the team, following his solid contribution of six wickets and 127 runs in the first two matches.
Woakes joined the side in the second game as a replacement for Ben Stokes. He played a pivotal role in that match, delivering a century and a sharp bowling spell that led England to a smooth win.
