Chris Woakes remained unbeaten on 137 in the first innings of the second Test against India to enter the record books at Lord's. The century helped the all-rounder become the 10th player in history to score a ton and scalp five or more wickets at the famed cricket ground. He had registered figures of 5/32 and 6/70 at the 'Mecca of Cricket' against Pakistan in 2016. Courtesy of Woakes' maiden Test century England took a lead of 289 runs in the first innings on Sunday's fourth day. England captain Joe Root had declared his side's first innings on 396 for seven.

Woakes's innings, his maiden Test century, meant he now has a place on both batting and bowling honours boards at Lord's.
