Right-arm pace spearhead Mark Wood will be one of the most crucial parts of the England squad Jos Buttler-led side is all set to tour Bangladesh for a white-ball series, starting from March 1 (Wednesday). England will be without some of the prominent names in the squad as they are currently involved in a Test series in New Zealand, but the presence of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood will provide the visitors with much-needed strength at Bangladesh’s slow surface.
Meanwhile, a hilarious video is going viral on the internet which hints Wood taking up an interesting challenge as he trained alongside his teammates. In a video, Wood appears to be tasked with a challenge where he is supposed to be removing as many as clothes before successfully taking a catch. The video shows Wood successfully removing his t-shirt and shots before he dives to complete his catch.
Check the video.
While Jos Buttler-led team is preparing for the Bangladesh tour, the Ben Stokes-led side is on the cusp of scripting history as they are inching closer to registering a clean sweep against New Zealand in a two-Test match series. England needs 210 runs to win the second Test match as they have only lost one wicket at the end of Day 4 of the 2nd Test. Ben Duckett* (23) and Ollie Robinson* (1) are currently batting for the visitors.
Earlier England batted brilliantly as they declared their innings at 435 runs in the 1st innings. Joe Root (153) and Harry Brook (186) stitched match-defining stands to put enough runs on board. In response, New Zealand got bundled out at 209/10 and was tasked with follow-on by England. However, New Zealand did well in the follow-on by scoring 483 on the back of Kane Williamson (132), Tom Latham (83), and Tom Blundell’s 90. For England, Jack Leach bowled superbly as he bagged five wickets in the innings.
