Morgan: Woakes would be a big loss

Morgan. ‘Chris has been very impressive for us over the past couple of years, a mainstay. Side strains are a big confidence thing. He will definitely be a loss if he can’t play again.’ Woakes was due to have a scan last night to assess the damage. But Morgan — who made 75 not out from 61 balls as England pulled off the biggest run-chase in Champions Trophy history — was confident he has the attack to prosper without his opening bowler. ‘The guys picked up the load pretty well,’ said Morgan. ‘At one stage Bangladesh looked like they’d get 330. To peg it back to 305 was a credit to us.’ Root, who added an unbroken 143 with his captain, described his own injury as ‘just a bit of cramp’. He added: ‘I must not have eaten well in the morning and taken on the fluids.’ Meanwhile, Morgan reiterated his faith in the out-of-form Jason Roy, who made just a single before he was well caught by Mustafizur Rahman trying to ramp Mashrafe Mortaza over short fine leg. ‘That can happen when you’re short on runs,’ he said. ‘But we believe in him.’
