Chris Woakes hit on the helmet: The English all-rounder failed to cope with a nasty blow from the Australian fast bowler at Lord’s.

During the second day of the second Test of the ongoing 2019 Ashes series between England and Australia at Lord’s, England all-rounder Chris Woakes was hit on the head with a nasty bouncer from Australia fast bowler Pat Cummins.

It all happened on the fourth delivery of the 65th over when Woakes couldn’t get down on time against a bouncer from Cummins. As a result, the ball ended up hitting Woakes on the back of his helmet.

In what appeared to be a severe blow, it thankfully caused no damage to the batsman. Woakes did undergo through the required procedure relating to concussion but was deemed to fit to continue batting in the middle.

With his concentration perhaps getting affected by the blow, Woakes was given caught behind on the last delivery of the over. It was in an attempt to pull a Cummins delivery which saw Woakes gloving the ball to Australia captain Tim Paine behind the stumps.

Not realizing the same in the first go, Woakes opted for a review upon being given out by the umpire. Once the replays were shown, Woakes walked back to the pavilion after scoring 32 (62) with the help of three fours and a six.

Woakes stitched a vital 72-run partnership for the seventh wicket with wicket-keeper batsman Jonny Bairstow. Their stand was vital in propelling the hosts to 258 in 77.1 overs.
