Not sure that these stats mean an awful lot in regards to Woakes. He was clearly rushed back unfit in his one game of the summer. So far in Australia he's had a poor and a decent test. He's not a guaranteed pick but if he bowls in 2 of the next 3 tests like he did in the second he's pretty safe.

His away record 9 Tests 53.07. He is safe for the rest of the Ashes. When Stokes is back they won't need Woakes' batting as much.
With the exception of Root, Broad and Anderson there isn't really anyone so secure they won't be looking over their shoulders if they have 3 bad tests. Bairstow hasn't had a stellar year, Ali looks out of form and the rest of the squad have no form to be out of. Woakes has a place to lose but to a large degree his destiny is in his own hands.

Being in the ODI team helps Woakes. He has had a very good year. That keeps him in the Test squad.
If Bairstow and Ali have a bad series I don't think they have to worry about their places. Cook, Root, Bairstow, Ali Stokes Broad Anderson.
