England Recall Pacer After Three Years To Replace Mark Wood vs Sri Lanka

Olly Stone has been recalled to the England side for the first time in three years as the replacement for Mark Wood in the only change for the second Test against Sri Lanka.

Stone, a Nottinghamshire seamer, has got the nod over 20-year-old left-arm paceman Josh Hull, who received his first call-up to the squad after Wood's injury.

England Pacer Mark Wood Ruled Out Of Remaining Tests vs Sri Lanka, To Be Replaced By...

Uncapped English fast bowler Josh Hull will replace Mark Wood in the remaining two Test matches of the series against Sri Lanka after the 34-year-old suffered a right thigh muscle strain while bowling in the second innings of the Manchester Test, according to the ICC. Hull is a left-arm seamer, who recently featured in the England Lions fixture against Sri Lanka, and picked up five wickets at an average of 14.8. Wood had an exceptional start to his spell in the second inning, getting the wicket of Dimuth Karunaratne off his first ball, but pulled out of his run-up in the 56th over, and left the field.

Watch: Ben Stokes' Lookalike Spotted Once Again. Hilarious Exchange Goes Viral

England captain Ben Stokes may not be playing in the Test series against Sri Lanka due to a hamstring injury, but he's still involved within the England dressing room. This allowed a hilarious moment to take place at Old Trafford on Friday, where the match cameras were able to capture a man in the crowd who looked like a carbon copy of Stokes. With Stokes present at the ground, fans could also grab his laughing reaction after seeing his lookalike on the big screen. Much like Stokes, this fan possessed a ginger hairstyle and beard. When he was shown on screen, the England captain raised his thumb in approval. However, moments later, the fan would open his jacket to reveal 'Stokesy 55' written on the back of his jersey.

'Unfair' Ball Change Controversy Strikes England vs Sri Lanka Test, Angelo Mathews Left Fuming

A controversy erupted from the first Test between England and Sri Lanka in Manchester after the hosts were rewarded by a ball-change decision, that many deemed 'unfair. It all happened during Sri Lanka's batting in the second innings when England took up a new ball, and shifted the momentum in their favour. Veteran Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews labelled the incident as a turning point in the game, as England pacers really came to the fore, making the best use of a firmer new cherry.

Watch: Sri Lanka Spinner Prabath Jayasuriya Sparks Shane Warne's 'Ball Of The Century' Memory With Stunner

Sri Lanka cricket team spinner Prabath Jayasuriya almost recreated Shane Warne's famous 'Ball of the Century' to dismiss Harry Brook on Day 2 of the first Test match against England on Thursday. Jayasuriya came up with an absolute stunner that left Brook completely stunned and sparked comparisons with Warne's magical delivery back in 1993. The ball pitched around the middle and leg stump line before turning sharply to crash into the off-stump. Brook was batting at 56 and looked in quite a good touch but the ball completely bamboozled the England batter. The video of the dismissal went viral on social media with both fans and experts showering praise on the Sri Lanka cricketer.
