Mark Wood is a doubt for the first Ashes Test as England revealed he would undergo a precautionary scan on Friday after suffering hamstring soreness.

Wood bowled eight overs before tea on the first day of England's Ashes warm-up against the Lions, but he had to leave the field midway through the afternoon after experiencing discomfort.

The fast bowler has not played in nine months after suffering a knee injury in the Champions Trophy in February.

Wood has struggled with injuries, having not played a Test for England since August 2024, when he was ruled out for the rest of the year by an elbow problem.

In their statement confirming the scan, England also added that he "is expected to bowl again in two days' time".

"It's not ideal, but it's part of being an extremely fast bowler," vice-captain Harry Brook told BBC Sport.

"We'll see what happens."

England bowled first against the Lions, and dismissed them for 382 by the close, with Ben Stokes taking six wickets in his first appearance in four months after suffering a shoulder injury.
