England bowler Mark Wood has warned Australia that they will be at their best in the fifth Ashes Test this week.

Alastair Cook's men have already won the series thanks to their 3-1 lead, and Wood has insisted that they want to put the tourists to the sword in the final Test.

He told Sky Sports News: "Cooky rang me the next day. He didn't let that winning feeling sink in too much because every other phone call was saying 'brilliant, well done but let's make this 4-1'.

"If it was the other way around I'm sure that Australia wouldn't give us an easy ride so of course the celebrations will be after the game.

"We have to prepare like we have for every other game and make sure that when it comes to Thursday that we're raring to go. Trying to make it 4-1 as I think that would make it just that bit more sweet."

Wood took the series-clinching wicket in the fourth Test at Trent Bridge..
