England's Mark Wood warns Australia after lightning Ashes 2023 spell: "It’s disappointing"

Mark Wood has warned Australia he can bowl even quicker after his lightning spell that shook the tourists at Headingley.

The Durham seamer sent down deliveries touching 97mph on the first day of the third Ashes Test in Leeds as he made his first appearance of the series. Wood missed the Edgbaston and Lord’s clashes with an elbow injury.

The extra pace made a difference with Wood taking his fifth Test five-wicket haul. His fourth over was the second-quickest on record in England and included a 94.6mph peach to dismiss Australian opener Usman Khawaja.
