"Given Them Something To Think About": Mark Wood On Team India After 1st Test Win

England getting bamboozled on turning tracks is no longer a "foregone conclusion" and the shock loss in the opening Test has given India a lot to think about ahead of the second game, says visiting team's pace ace Mark Wood.
