England has made one change for the second test against the West Indies by bringing in pacer Mark Wood for the retired James Anderson. The second match of the three-test series starts Thursday at Trent Bridge.
The 41-year-old Anderson is staying with the team this summer as a fast bowling mentor. The most prolific fast bowler in test history, with 704 wickets, bowed out of international cricket by helping England complete a win by an innings and 114 runs over the West Indies at Lord`s on Friday.
Dillon Pennington had been in contention on his home ground, following hot on the heels of fellow newcomer Gus Atkinson`s remarkable 12-wicket haul last week, but Wood has got the nod after being added to the squad at the weekend.
