[Watch] 'Unlike Angelo Mathews' - Chris Woakes' Hilariously Issues Warning To Umpire To Avoid 'Timed-Out'

Chris Woakes signalled towards the umpire to avoid getting timed-out (Twitter)

During the ongoing match between England and the Netherlands in Pune, Chris Woakes found himself in a rather amusing situation when he had some trouble with his helmet. In an effort to avoid a bizarre dismissal, he hilariously showed it to the umpires, ensuring he didn't suffer the same fate as Angelo Mathews had a few days ago during the Ban vs. SL match.

Angelo Mathews had an unusual encounter, causing him to be declared out without even facing a single delivery. This rare occurrence, known as a "time out" in cricket, happens when a batter fails to assume their position within three minutes of a wicket falling.

In Woakes' case, it was evident that he didn't want history to repeat itself. With a sense of humor, he displayed his helmet to the umpires, making sure he didn't fall victim to an untimely dismissal.
