England pace bowler Mark Wood will not return to the field today

England pace bowler Mark Wood has sustained a right thigh muscle injury late on the third day of the first Rothesay Test against Sri Lanka at Emirates Old Trafford.
He will not return to the field today and will continue to be assessed by the England medical team to determine the full extent of the injury.

The touring side ended the day 204 for six in their second innings, meaning that they will start day four with a narrow lead of 82. Dinesh Chandimal will resume on 20, having retired earlier in the innings to have a scan on his thumb, while Kamindu Mendis is unbeaten on 56.

One big concern for England was the sight of Mark Wood leaving the field late on during his over after pulling up in the middle of his run-up.
