If he's got 90+ pace back, might be better news for the WC side than the Test XI.

3-11.
Just ruined my stat about him having the worst England pace bowling average ever.

Another wicket for Wood to end the session, nearly a no ball but just enough of his foot behind the line.

Sitting here a little confused
If wood has been bowling this quick in the nets why did he not play the second game
Fair enough they completely misjudged the wicket in the first game picking 2 specialist spinners and that just happens sometimes
I suppose dropping Curran after 1 bad game would've been harsh too
But if you have a guy bowling 88+ with accuracy in your squad you have to chuck him in
Hopefully he can maintain this 88mph+ bowling as he gets more overs into his legs

I don't understand why the selectors thought Curran would bowl better than Wood on these pitches.

Yes he is. Could have had more wickets - couple of edges just dropping short and one flying over the gully.

just been looking back at the commentary on crapinfo. talk of 95mph
95mph
not sure anyone has hit 95mph since Harmison in the CT final back in the year 4

Brilliant one handed catch from Broad for the 9th wicket and Wood back on to take the last wicket and his 5th.
Lead of 123 for England and 20 overs scheduled to be bowled. It's Jennings time.

Freddie bowled very quick in the 09 ashes despite being on one leg
