England paceman sent for scans in warm-up match scare

Wood bowled eight overs on day one of England's tour match against the England Lions.

An ECB spokesperson confirmed eight overs was always the plan.

"He has some stiffness in his left hamstring, which has kept him off the field for some time during the second session of the first day and will undergo a precautionary scan tomorrow," the statement read.

"He is expected to bowl again in two days' time.

"It is unlikely he will return to the field today."

Wood finished with 0-29 with Ben Stokes doing the majority of the damage, dismissing Tom Haines (20), Jacob Bethell (2), Jordan Cox (53) and Rehan Ahmed (16).

Ben McKinney scored 67 before he was caught behind off Josh Tongue's bowling.

Stokes ended up with six wickets as the Lions were bowled out for 382. Will Jacks top scored with 84. 

Wood comes into the Ashes series off the back of a long lay off from a knee injury.

Hamstring injuries are all the rave right now after Sean Abbott and Josh Hazlewood left the field at the SCG during NSW's Shield match against Victoria.

Hazlewood was cleared for the first Test while Abbott will miss out on being part of the squad, but it was unlikely he would have played in Perth if fit.
