Morkel helping me prepare just like I do while playing for England: Wood

Lucknow, Apr 1 (PTI) England pace spearhead Mark Wood credited bowling coach Morne Morkel for keeping things simple at training as he returned with sensational figures of 5/14 on his IPL debut for Lucknow Super Giants in their massive 50-run win against Delhi Capitals, here on Saturday.

After Kyle Mayers 38-ball 73 led them to a massive 193/6, Lucknow Super Giants restricted Delhi Capitals to 143/9 with Wood decimating the DC top-order in his first two overs with some high quality pace bowling.

"KL (Rahul) tried to keep things simple for me and the planning with Morne helped me. He has been really good with me, just try to do similar with what I do for England," Wood said after receiving the player-of-the-match.
