Olly Stone will be out to put the frustrations of his “stop-start” Test career behind him when he makes his England return this week, vowing to step up and fill the pace void left by Mark Wood’s injury.
Stone will replace Wood for this week’s Second Test against Sri Lanka at Lord’s in the only change from last week’s series-opening victory at Old Trafford, during which the Durham quick suffered a thigh injury that has ended his Test summer.
