England's Mark Wood Sent for Precautionary Hamstring Scan After Warm-Up Exit

England says scans on Friday will guide his workload after he left the Perth match with stiffness and was kept off the field.

Overview

  • Wood delivered eight overs for 0-29 against the England Lions at Lilac Hill in Perth before leaving the field with hamstring stiffness.
  • The ECB said the assessment is precautionary, scheduled for Friday, November 14, with expectations he will rest today and bowl again in two days.
  • The fast bowler has been managing a knee issue and this was his first red-ball outing in about nine months after last playing internationally in February.
  • Reports differ on whether the discomfort was in his left or right leg, a detail that team scans are expected to clarify.
  • Australia reported Josh Hazlewood cleared after his own hamstring scan, Sean Abbott ruled out with a moderate hamstring injury, and selectors weighing Michael Neser as Cameron Green hit 94 and resumed bowling.
