England are sweating on the fitness of pace spearhead Mark Wood for their T20 World semi-final with India.
The 32-year-old has been the fastest on show in the tournament so far, and the stresses on the body come at a price with Wood suffering from general stiffness after flying into Adelaide. He pulled up in training on Tuesday and retired to the dressing room without bowling and will now face a fitness test the day before the game to see whether he is available.
The same will be the case for Dawid Malan who had a light session under the watchful eyes of the England medics monitoring his groin injury and he is in a battle to make it on to the team sheet for Thursday. One man who is coping with his various niggles and will be taking full part is Ben Stokes who is chomping at the bit to get stuck into India in another World Cup semi-final and produce his best performance of the tournament so far.
