Adjusted the man of the match for his vital performances both with the ball and bat in the third Ashes Test against Australia, England's Mark Wood, however, said considered an all-rounder and sent higher to bat would cause him a "nosebleed".

Wood made his impact with the ball, claiming 5-34 as Australia were bundled out for 263 in the first innings. He then scored a crucial 24 lower down the order as he helped skipper Ben Stokes (80) drag England to 237, thus not allowing Australia to take a big lead.
