This would be a blow for England as Stokes gives the team great balance. If he does miss out, I would imagine that Chris Woakes would be the most likely replacement though Jake Ball would be another possibility with Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali moving up the order.

Stokes has indeed been ruled out of the second Test due to his knee injury and been replaced in he 12-man squad by Chris Woakes.

This is a big blow for England. There have been reports that Stokes' injury could force him to sit on the sidelines for up to six-weeks.

I have never been quite sold on Chris Woakes, though to be fair, he has never been given an extended run in the side. It has always been one game here, one game there. It is tough to build a rhythm when you play sporadically.

Just looking over the scorecard's from this weeks round of county championship fixtures, I see he picked up nine-wickets in an inning against Durham, finishing with figures of 9-36. I'd have to imagine he gets the nod ahead of Jake Ball for the second Test.

I would be curious to see what happens if England do win at Durham. Would they possibly rest Broad and Anderson ahead of the upcoming Pakistan series and give the likes of Ball/Woakes/Footitt a run out? I'd also like to see more of Rashid, especially with the forthcoming tour of India and Bangladesh on the horizon.

Indeed he dos. It has just been confirmed that Woakes will replace Stokes for the second Test.

England XI to face Sri Lanka at Durham:

Cook (c), Hales, Compton, Root, Vince, Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Woakes, Broad, Finn, Anderson

Bairstow and Moeen Ali will each move up one place in the order with Woakes batting at number eight. Woakes is no mug with the bat, averaging 36.66 in First-Class cricket with 9 centuries.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 10:58)(10:58)0
