'Rapid' Wood bowls in nets to boost Ashes hopes

England's Mark Wood looks set to play in the first Ashes Test after a rapid spell in the nets in Perth, dispelling concerns over a hamstring issue. Wood, recovering from knee surgery, bowled impressively in training and could be part of a five-man pace attack for England's XI against Australia. Fellow seamer Josh Tongue sees no reason why Wood wouldn't be fit for the Test, with confirmation expected soon.
