Scans clear Mark Wood of serious injury

Mark Wood has been cleared of serious injury and will remain part of England's World Cup squad.

Wood, one of two England bowlers who regularly generate pace in excess of 90 mph - Jofra Archer is the other - pulled up during his fourth over of the warm-up match against Australia in Southampton on Saturday. Given his history of foot and ankle problems, there was some trepidation in the England camp when he was subsequently sent for scans.

But those scans have shown no sign of injury. Instead the England medical team believe Wood simply jarred his foot while bowling.

While Wood will not take part in Monday's warm-up match against Afghanistan, he was seen bowling on a pitch on the edge of the square at The Oval shortly before play. England believe he will be available for selection for their first World Cup match, against South Africa, at The Oval on Thursday.

England have also had good news about the fitness of their captain, Eoin Morgan. Morgan was diagnosed with a small fracture in a finger on Thursday, but has recovered sufficiently to play on Monday in a 12-man side. Adil Rashid, who missed Saturday's game with a shoulder injury, also returns to the side.

Chris Woakes, who played as a specialist batsman on Saturday, is expected to take a full part as a bowler against Afghanistan, while Liam Plunkett has been rested for the game. Liam Dawson, who cut his finger on Saturday, has also been given more time to recover.

Teams are allowed to utilise substitute fielders from outside their 15-man squads for the warm-up games. Once the tournament starts, however, only players from within those squads will be allowed to come on as substitute fielders.
