(Reuters) - Fast bowler Mark Wood has been named in place of James Anderson in an otherwise unchanged England lineup for the second test against the West Indies at Trent Bridge, the country's cricket board (ECB) announced on Tuesday.

Wood returned to the squad after Anderson retired from tests following the first match at Lord's where England won by an innings and 114 runs inside three days.
