England pace bowler Chris Woakes expressed his frustration with the outfield on Day 1 (Thursday, July 31) of the fifth and final Test match against India during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Woakes was upset when the ball rolled through a patch of water on the field, which created problems for fielders.
India, led by Shubman Gill, are facing England in the fifth and final Test of a tightly contested series at the Kennington Oval in London. England lead the series 2-1, but the margin could have been in favor of India if they had seized crucial opportunities during key phases when they were in a top position.

Chris Woakes showed visible frustration over the damp outfield while chasing a ball. The incident took place on the first ball of the 10th over in India’s first innings. KL Rahul clipped the ball through mid-wicket, and Woakes gave chase.
Water splashed from his heels, highlighting the poor conditions. The ball also got wet after rolling through a puddle, raising concerns about the field’s readiness for play. Despite the slow and soggy outfield, Rahul and his partner managed to collect three runs with ease.
