England spinner Moeen Ali has said pacer Mark Wood fully deserved his wickets in the ongoing second Test against India here at the Lord's Cricket Ground. Wood went on to dismiss Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara in the second innings to put the visitors on the backfoot.

"I was very pleased for him (Wood). He was telling me in the first innings that he doesn't get the wickets he would like, and I said these things can happen and they will come. The way he bowled was fantastic and it was a great catch by me at deep square leg! He fully deserved his wickets and the wicket of Pujara was massive. The way he ran in and banged the wicket with a soft ball on a dead wicket. I thought he was fantastic," Moeen said during a virtual press conference.
