'He's breathing Fire' - Fans react as Mark Wood concedes only 2 runs in his first four overs, scalps one wicket

England are playing with star pacer Mark Wood in the playing XI in place of veteran pacer James Anderson in the ongoing third Ashes 2023 Test against Australia. Wood has been very impressive so far with his amazing pace and excellent bowling in the Headingley Test. His bowling, with consistent pace, is impressing everyone in the cricketing fraternity, including the cricket experts and the fans of the game.

He conceded only two runs in the first 4 overs of his spell in the ongoing match against Australia. Apart from that, he also scalped the crucial wicket of veteran Aussie opener Usman Khawaja with an excellent full-length quick delivery straight into the stumps. The speed of the delivery read 153 kmph.

Subsequently, cricket fans are also overwhelmed by this sensational comeback of Mark Wood in  Test cricket. They immediately took to Twitter and came up with a lot of praise for Wood's consistency with the pace.

Here’s how fans reacted:

The change has work. Both openers back in pavilion. Now when Carey will come to bat he should realize to keep his foot in the crease otherwise he will be the victim of what he started which according to rules is fair
