England fast bowler Steven Finn will play no further part in the tour match against India 'A' after being diagnosed with a thigh strain.

He was unable to bowl more than four overs on the opening day, leaving the field and subsequently undergoing scans to assess the extent of the damage.

Further assessment will be carried out in the next few days which will determine his availability for the remainder of the tour, in which England play four Tests, beginning on 15th November in Ahmedabad.

Finn, 23, has played 16 Tests for his country, taking 66 wickets at an average of 28.15.
