We are not worried about leaking runs, we are just thinking wickets: Mark Wood

The Hindu  

The England bowling attack has been told not to worry about leaking runs and rather just focus on taking wickets against an ultra-aggressive Indian batting unit, senior pacer Mark Wood said on Monday. I don't think McCullum wants us to worry about runs too much, he's all about how can we impact the game that way,” Wood said on the eve of the third T20I. "Speaking of pace against spin, I still think we've got one of the best spinners in the world in Adil Rashid, he's a huge weapon for us and every time he plays, he looks like he's going to get wickets. "One guy played exceptionally well, if the luck was slightly different: a top-edge that went for six over the wicketkeeper, if that goes straight up in the air, it's a different story," explained the 35-year-old.
