England's fast bowler, Mark Wood, will not participate on Day 4 of the first Test against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford due to an injury.

Wood suffered a right thigh injury during his run-up on Day 3, forcing him to leave the field for medical treatment late on Friday.

England announced the injury status before Saturday's play, confirming, 'He will not return to the field today and will continue to be assessed by the medical team to determine the full extent.' This development casts doubt on Wood's availability for the series' remaining Tests at Lords' and The Oval.
