(Reuters) - Defending champions Australia rode on Steve Smith's century to beat England by 12 runs in a closely-fought World Cup warm-up match in Southampton on Saturday. "Mark Wood is to have a precautionary scan," the England Cricket Board said in a statement, as reported by ESPN. "England's medical team want to ensure there is nothing serious in the build-up to the start of the World Cup." "Steve played an unbelievable knock." England play one more warm-up match against Afghanistan on Monday before kicking off their World Cup campaign against South Africa on Thursday.
