Speed machine Mark Wood had one word for how he felt after hitting an eye-watering 97mph on his first appearance since March – “tired”. But he made sure his return to action was worth the wait during a 63-run win in Friday’s Twenty20 victory over Pakistan. It’s my first game since March for England and I’ve played one game for my club team Ashington, so this has been a long time. Apparently I live on an ice machine now, so I’ll be on that ice machine,” Wood added. I’ve got to peak at the right time so when it comes to the World Cup I’m fit and firing.
