Chris Woakes pulled England out of the jaws of defeat against Sri Lanka, backing up his impressive play in the recent test series. Woakes is no doubt very talented, and maintains better First Class records in batting and bowling than Ben Stokes. So far he has been a 5th bowler and batted the majority of his test innings at 8. Given a more useful role in the side he might perform better with the bat and take more wickets.
The question is.... do England bench Woakes now he is starting to show his potential, or go back to a fit Ben once he is back?
