England paceman Mark Wood out to lay down Ashes marker in white-ball series against Australia

Daily Mail  

Mark Wood wants to turn the heat up on Australia in six white-ball matches that provide the perfect finale to an imperfect season and lay down a marker for the next Ashes. Mark Wood is expected to return in Friday's first Twenty20 international at the Ageas Bowl 'They're desperate to beat us and we're desperate to beat them. Wood wants to turn the heat up on Australia in six white-ball matches this month It was harsh on Wood when England left him out of all but the first Test against West Indies to allow Stuart Broad, Jimmy Anderson and Chris Woakes to dominate what was meant to be a fast bowling rotation policy in this bio-secure summer. England's fastest bowler was unlucky to be restricted to just the first of six Tests this summer Wood has spent his time on the Test sidelines working on a new 'wobble seam' red-ball delivery in an attempt to add to his skills and become more than just an express pace bowler best suited to overseas conditions. Meanwhile, Australia coach Justin Langer believes his side's crushing 5-0 one-day defeat to England two years ago helped them recover from the cheating scandal in South Africa that led to lengthy bans for Warner and former captain Steve Smith.
