England endured the most chilling of starts to their Ashes warm-up with a potential injury to Mark Wood meaning the key fast bowler will start the second day of their solitary pre-series fixture in hospital rather than on the pitch.
Wood reported “stiffness in his hamstring” at the end of his second four-over spell against the Lions at Lilac Hill and will have a precautionary scan on Friday morning to assess the extent of any damage.
