In a thrilling moment during the ongoing third Test match between England and the West Indies, Mark Wood delivered an exceptional ball that clean-bowled Kirk McKenzie. This memorable incident took place in the 25th over of the first innings when the West In𝔍die🐎s were at 93/1.
Mark Wood’s breathtaking delivery
Wood’s delivery was nothing short of spectacular. Coming in at a blistering pace of 146 km/h, the ball swung back sharply from a fuller length, leaving McKenzie completely baffled. The middle stump was dramatically uprooted, flying out of the ground and landing some distance away. McKenzie’s attempt to push the ball tamely was in vain, as the ball’s rapid pace and late inward movement completely outwitted him. McKenzie was dismissed for just 12 runs, highlighting Wood’s prowess and precision.
