They confirmed the development on their social media, stating: “Chris Woakes set to play no further part in the fifth Test. A further assessment will take place at the end of the series.”

Chris Woakes bowled 14 overs in the ongoing game and picked up one wicket. His absence means England will now have to do a tough job as he was their most experienced player in the lineup and his absence will surely put them under pressure.

In the 5 games, he has picked 11 wickets, and it remains to be seen how England recovers from this, especially with the series on the line.
