The Ashes series is still alive after England scraped home in a tense run chase in Leeds. 🏏 9WWOS TheAshes
The two men who guided England home, Woakes and Wood, played critical roles after being recalled to the XI for the Leeds Test.
Woakes took 3-73 and 3-68 and struck 32 runs in England's chase, while Wood captured 5-34 and 2-66 and played a couple of crucial roles with the bat, smashing 24 in the hosts' first dig and peeling off 16 in the fourth innings.The right-arm speed demon bowled so fast on day one that comparisons were being drawn between him and some of England's quickest bowlers in history, including Harold Larwood, Frank Tyson and Devon Malcolm.
"He's a quality performer and every time he puts the shirt on he gets the job done. He's sort of Mr Consistent. Having someone who can bat like him down at No.8 is obviously a massive help for us, and when the ball's doing a little bit in the air or off the wicket you know he's going to be massive in the game. Really pleased for Woakesy and hopefully if he gets another opportunity later in the series he can do something similar.
