DOUBLE QUICK

Blistering pace pair Wood and Archer are ready to team up at The Oval... and then at the T20 World Cup in Caribbean

- NEIL SQUIRES 

MARK WOOD is ready to be unleashed alongside Jofra Archer as part of an England T20 World Cup speed trap.

Wood has finally shaken off the knee problem that kept him out of the first part of England's warm-up series against Pakistan and is set to play tonight in the final game of the series at The Oval.

With Archer also likely to be given a run out after playing so little cricket over the past year, England could show a blisteringly pacy hand that Wood thinks could work in the Caribbean, too. He said: "I've played with Jofra before and I don't see it's like me or him.

"We played together at the 2019 World Cup and things went pretty well.
