Mark Wood aims to give Shane Watson some hostile bowling

Mark Wood 'gunning' for Shane Watson

England bowler Mark Wood has told Shane Watson that he is coming for him in this summer's Ashes series.

The Durham man has broken into the England Test team this year, and is expected to line up against the tourists when the first match starts in Cardiff next week.

The 25-year-old once bowled against Watson in a net session, and says that the Aussie all-rounder was less than kind about his performance.

He told BBC Sport: "He called me a 'net hero' and said he would like to have a go at me. Well, he's going to get his chance. Let's hope he remembers me, because he's going to get a few more bumpers."

Wood has taken nine wickets in two Test matches so far.
