Chris Woakes has replaced injured all-rounder Ben Stokes in the England squad for the second test against Sri Lanka, the English Cricket Board said on Monday.

Stokes limped off with a knee injury during England's first test victory at Leeds and further scans ruled him out of the second match, which begins at Chester-le-Street on Friday.

All-rounder Woakes, who has won six test caps, will play the second day of a county match for Warwickshire on Monday before joining up with the England squad on Tuesday.

I left at the same time as you PGW as I with sister and nephew and they didn't fancy hanging around. No rain at all a mile southwest of the ground.

Not great after such a solid start. The lower order have scored most of our runs this season so I suppose a collapse was due by the law of averages.

Anybody know what is going on with Rikki Clarke? Unavailable for selection was the official explanation.

A knee problem, hopefully not too serious as i would like him to replace Woakes tomorrow.
