NEW DELHI: England fast bowler Mark Wood felt some hamstring stiffness on the opening day of their only warm-up match ahead of next week's Ashes series in Australia, the team said on Thursday.
Wood bowled eight overs - the pre-determined limit set by the England and Wales Cricket Board - before leaving the field during the tour game against the England Lions at Perth's Lilac Hill.

The ECB said Wood "will undergo a precautionary scan" on Friday and is scheduled to bowl again Saturday.
The 35-year-old Wood has been out of action for the last nine months following knee surgery. He has been training with heavy strapping on his leg.
The first Test starts November 21 in Perth.
