Mark Wood returns as England announce playing XI for Dharamsala Test

Dharamsala, Mar 6 (UNI) England have made only one change to their team that played the fourth Test against India in Ranchi.<br /> Express pacer Mark Wood returns to England&rsquo;s playing XI for the fifth and final Test against India in Dharamsala.<br /> Wood featured in the first and third Test of the series in Hyderabad and Rajkot respectively but was rested for the fourth Test to manage his workload. <br /> Though he went wicketless in England&rsquo;s win in the series opener, the 34-year-old picked up four wickets in the third Test and contributed a handy 37 runs, albeit in a losing cause.<br /> Wood returns at the expense of Ollie Robinson, who looked off-colour in the fourth Test in Ranchi. <br /> Robinson suffered a back strain during England's first batting innings, preventing him from bowling in India's successful chase in the fourth innings. In the first innings, he bowled 13 overs without taking a wicket and conceding 54 runs.<br /> England playing XI: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (C), Ben Foakes, Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, James Anderson, Shoaib Bashir.<br /> India took an unassailable 3-1 lead with a thrilling win in the fourth Test but both teams have crucial World Test Championship points to play for.<br /> <br /> UNI BM ARN</p>
