Part of Fox‘s coverage in Australia includes interviews with players during drinks breaks. During the second session it was Mark Wood’s turn to speak to the Fox commentary team as England sought to restrict Australia’s first innings lead.

After several failed attempts to get Wood’s attention, Stokes eventually provoked a reaction from Wood mid-interview with the fast bowler turning around and saying, “Pack it in, man!”
