England’s cricket team is currently engaged in a test match against India at The Oval, but the day has been marred by significant hurdles. Star bowler Chris Woakes’ injury has thrown a wrench into the game. Adding insult to injury, chronic rain delays have plagued and angered fans and competitors all summer.
The match is the second in a much-anticipated three-game series. England is having a hard time keeping the wave moving due to a very unhelpful weather party crasher. Woakes’ injury adds another wrinkle to the brew for the team. They have all gotten used to having to work around his absence, and with the new challenge of…rain!
Reflecting on the first day of the match, commentators Jonathan Agnew, Michael Vaughan, and Deep Dasgupta offered their insights during a special segment of Test Match Special. Their post-match analysis showed how much Woakes’ injury and the weather played in holding England back. This provided listeners an almost real-time, behind the scenes look into how that situation was developing.
