It was all Ben Stokes on Day 3 of the Test match, but Mark Wood was awarded the Man of the Match, as his match figures of 7/92 were vital in England's comeback win in the Test match.
"Yeah, a bit of relief. I was down on myself but Jimmy gave me a great talk during the break. I tried to focus on my strength. That first wicket gave me a lot of confidence and I flew after that. You have to adapt to the conditions. I was just trying to bowl fast. That's what Stokesy wants me to do. The speeds may have been up and down due to the injuries but I'll try to bowl fast in the rest of the summer. I was a little bit down on myself on not getting the outcome I would have liked," said Mark Wood during the post match presentation ceremony.
"The plan was to bowl to Hodge with the ball reversing. I spoke with Jimmy about the mindset and it helped me change my mindset a bit. It's hard. It's important to pick up the ball and bowl and again pick it up and bowl. It's great to be a part of this team who always keep backing me. Every Test is pretty special. The challenge was to keep up the pace in back-to-back Tests. Thanks to the physio as well for helping me out. The body feels good," he added.
