Ben Stokes attempted to calm concerns over his fitness ahead of the Ashes after an England 10-wicket warm-up win over Ireland inside three days at Lord's where he neither batted nor bowled.
Captain of England cricket team, Stokes declared with the hosts on 524-4, meaning he didn't have to bat.
And having struggled with a left knee injury since England's tour of New Zealand in February, the paceman also opted against bowling himself in this lone Test.
The all-rounder looked as if he might become the first England captain since Harold Gilligan 93 years ago not to bat, bowl, hold a catch or make a stumping in a Test.
But Stokes avoided joining an exclusive club when he caught Curtis Campher off part-time off-spinner Joe Root during Saturday's morning session.
The way he then hobbled to join his celebrating team-mates was a worrying sign, however, with the Ashes opening against Australia at Edgbaston in less than two weeks on June 16.
Nevertheless, the England captain told a post-match news conference on Saturday.
"I bowled this morning (in the nets) for the first time in four weeks and I felt really good. I was real happy with how I bowled”, Stokes said in the post match presentation.
