Steven Finn out of tour match
Steven Finn will play no further part in England's first tour match against India 'A' because of a thigh strain.
Finn
underwent scans on his sore right leg, having left the field in pain
after just four overs on the first morning of England's tour opener at
the Brabourne Stadium on Tuesday.Finn is a crucial component of the line-up for four Tests against India, starting in Ahmedabad on November 15, with his height and extra pace a key factor on unhelpful surfaces.
The 6ft 7in fast bowler will need to prove his fitness in England's final warm-up match, a four-day fixture against Haryana which begins at Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium on November 8.
The ECB provided the official update on Finn's condition on Wednesday morning.
It confirmed a "right thigh strain" and added: "(He will be) assessed over the next couple of days to determine a rehabilitation programme."
