England vs West Indies: Mark Wood called up for second Test at Trent Bridge

England have added fast bowler Mark Wood to their squad for the second Test against West Indies at Trent Bridge.

Wood, 34, missed the huge win in the first Test after being part of the England squad for the T20 World Cup in June.

The Durham man takes the place of James Anderson, England’s all-time leading wicket-taker who ended his international career at Lord’s.

If England opt to retain Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson in their XI, Wood will be vying with Matthew Potts and the uncapped Dillon Pennington for the remaining pace-bowling slot.

Should Nottinghamshire’s Pennington, 25, make his debut, it would be on his home ground.

The second Test in the three-match series begins on Thursday, with the third Test at Edgbaston starting on 26 July.

England men’s squad for second Test v West Indies: Ben Stokes (Durham), Gus Atkinson (Surrey), Shoaib Bashir (Somerset), Harry Brook (Yorkshire), Zak Crawley (Kent), Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire), Dan Lawrence (Surrey), Dillon Pennington (Nottinghamshire), Ollie Pope (Surrey), Matthew Potts (Durham), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jamie Smith (Surrey), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham).
