- He took 5-41 in consolation win for England in St Lucia in 2019
- Wood aiming for same impact as Aussie quick Mitchell Johnson

The 30-year-old’s maiden five-wicket haul in England’s consolation win 16 months ago may not have touched the same heights as Johnson’s 37-wicket Ashes series in 2013-14, but it was both a scorching spell and possibly career-changing, too.
