Mark Wood should replace James Anderson - Broad

England bowler Stuart Broad has backed Durham seamer Mark Wood to replace the injured James Anderson for the fourth Ashes Test at Trent Bridge.
Yorkshire's Liam Plunkett and Mark Footitt of Derbyshire have also been named in the 14-man squad for the match, which starts on Thursday.
But Broad said: "For me, if [Wood] is fit, he plays at Trent Bridge."
Wood, 25, played in the first two Tests but suffered an ankle injury and was replaced by Steven Finn at Edgbaston.
"I'm a big fan of Woody," Broad added in his Mail on Sunday column.  "I love how hard he works and how much he enjoys the game."
Wood has a strong first-class record at Trent Bridge, but his Test bowling average of 39.21 is inferior to Plunkett's 37.46.
Broad also revealed that England - who lead the five-match series 2-1 after their victory at Edgbaston and will regain the Ashes with a win in Nottingham - have sacrificed a day off to aid their preparations.
"We had a three-day Test match so we had the option of taking tomorrow [Monday] off," Broad said.
"We're getting together at Trent Bridge tomorrow to have a day of extra training to make sure we're bang on the money."
Anderson says he is "hopeful" of being fit for the fifth Test at the Oval beginning on 20 August.

It appears that surprise element is the Key .

As Finn showed : I would rest Wood and play one of Plunkett or Woakes...

James Anderson is one of the premier fast bowlers in world cricket at the moment and filling his boots is going to be a monumental task for any bowler. That being said, after watching his performance in the first test match, I am of the opinion that Mark Wood is the best alternative that the English team possesses at the moment.

Mark Woods is coming off an Injury .

This 4th Test is too important to risk playing him.

Liam or Chris....are both fully fit.

Ideally, England could really use with Mo and Ben Stokes stepping up to take some of the load off the frontline seamers. Moeen's average in the series so far is 45.55 with a strike rate at 66.4 and didn't really trouble the Australian batsman at Edgbaston. While Stokes has been almost non-existent with the ball, taking just 2 wickets at an average of 99.50. If England have any chance of winning at Trent Bridge, they will need both to play a role with the ball.
