Starts tomorrow Wed, 8pm
Mark Wood has become the latest fast bowler ruled out of England's third Test against India due to a jarred right shoulder.
Wood sustained the injury while diving to save a boundary on the fourth day of the second Test at Lord's, and was only fit to bowl four overs on the final day. He will remain with the squad in Leeds and continue his rehab with England's medical team.
England have not called up an extra fast bowler as cover. As a result, Wood's injury is likely to open up the possibility of a Test debut for Saqib Mahmood, with Craig Overton also in contention. James Anderson, Ollie Robinson and Sam Curran are the other seamers in the squad.
