Mark Wood called up to the England squad for their second Test against the West Indies at Trent Bridge- after Jimmy Anderson's emotional farewell to his international career at Lord's

RICHARD GIBSON: Mark Wood has taken the retired Jimmy Anderson's place in the England squad for next week's second Rothesay Test against West Indies at Trent Bridge. Durham fast bowler Wood, 34, was not considered for England's innings and 114-run win at Lord's days after he returned from Twenty20 World Cup duty. But he has been asked to join up in Nottingham in the only change in personnel to the 14 that were selected ahead of the three-match series.
