Cricket: Concern over Wood’s fitness before first Ashes Test

# Cricket: England’s fast bowler Mark Wood is an injury concern just a week from the start of the Ashes series against Australia. He will undergo a scan today after experiencing tightness in the leg on the first day of the warm-up match against the England Lions in Perth. This was his first match since suffering a knee injury in February. Wood last played a Test in August last year, when he sustained an elbow injury. He is one of five pace bowlers in the squad for the Ashes.
