Can I repeat my prediction that Mark Wood will break a nail at some point...

I guess it will continue that way, and his bowling rather than being something he works on a lot, will have to live through his inherent natural ability. Which is a shame because, if the team was in a much more healthy position, that bowling trump card really does boost the rest of the attack in key moments in tests, to lose that would be to the whole attacks detriment.
