Chris Woakes will not be as efficient, however Ben Stokes will nonetheless must bowl loads of overs,” he mentioned.
“Jofra Archer’s tall motion and skill to focus on the stumps might show harmful, particularly if the ball stays low. And be careful for Liam Dawson, not essentially for unplayable deliveries, however he’ll play an important function in England’s bowling technique,” he added. (ANI)
