Mark Wood replaces Robinson for Dharamsala Test

England have brought back Mark Wood to replace Ollie Robinson in the only change to their XI for the fifth Test against India. There were suggestions that the visitors could field an extra seamer in the nippy climes of Dharamsala but after another inspection of the playing surface, captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum have opted to retain the same bowling balance that featured in Ranchi. That implies Britain will have two seamers and two forefront spinners with Joe Root offering an extra twist choice. It is not yet clear if Stirs up will drive himself to bowl in the series finale having prodded that chance starting from the beginning of the second Test in Vizag. "Before we even arrived, we were considering three seamers and one spinner. In any case, turning up yesterday (Tuesday) and seeing the wicket and seeing it again today, going with two seamers and two spinners is most likely the right call," Ben Stirs up said. "We figured there will be a smidgen more grass on the wicket as a result of where we are, yet generally speaking, the wicket looks like a belter. Thus, two seamers and two spinners gives us a decent blend when you are somewhat uncertain about what it (pitch) could do as the Test match goes on. We are certain with the group we are going with." Wood has highlighted in two Tests - Hyderabad and Rajkot - of the series such a long ways for returns of four wickets at a normal of 55.5 with Britain selecting to rest the speedster after every one of his two appearances. "Having a new Wood on a wicket that you feel could offer some speed is something that has been very predictable with when we have gone with two seamers. It gives us capability to attempt to tear the game open," Stirs up contemplated. Robinson, then again, played his main round of the series in Ranchi where he created a crude execution with a terrible back essentially influencing his bowling speeds and limiting him to only 13 overs in the Test match. I'm in the position where I get to see all the difficult work that goes into players allowing themselves the best opportunity of being on the field. I get to perceive how everybody in the gathering plans and the work that they put in. Robinson gave it his best shot to place in a game dominating execution last week, and tragically, not all things work out like you need it to," Stirs up said. "So when you see somebody investing the hard energy and showing the longing, and afterward something happens that is wild, you can't actually groan about it. Indeed it's not been the initial time. At the point when somebody isn't making the best choice, then, at that point, you can scrutinize that. Yet, when you see individuals filling in as hard as everybody does, it is exceptionally difficult to conflict with that individual. I see everybody's hard working attitude."
