Woakes struck his first Test century to guide England to 357/6 and a commanding 250-run lead over top-ranked India.
Coming in on the sixth wicket, Woakes and Bairstow tore apart the Indian bowling unit with their 189-run partnership, with the pacer going on to score his maiden Test century.
Woakes was batting on 120 while Sam Curran was unbeaten on 22, as the home team extended its first-innings lead to 250 runs with four wickets remaining at the Lord's.
While skipper Virat Kohli had insisted that there are no technical problems but the horrendous batting effort painted a sorry picture.

Stokes was sidelined for the first two games of the five-match series, both won by England, due to a torn left hamstring.
