ENG vs PAK | Counter-attacking was the way to go on that surface: Chris Woakes

India TV News  

Chris Woakes stormed back to form with the bat as he hit a match-winning 84 not out for England against Pakistan in the first Test at Old Trafford. With England 117/5 chasing a target of 277, Woakes joined Jos Buttler in the middle and changed the tide of the game by taking the attack to the charging Pakistan outfit. Especially the ball Ollie got, we took initiative by scoring quickly and thought that was the way to go on that surface," said Woakes in the presentation ceremony. "He is one of the best white-ball players in the world, one of the best run-chasers, and he showed it today with all his inventive sweeps and reverse-sweeps, especially the way he handled the spinners."
