Steve Finn is in contention for a senior England debut in the first Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong tomorrow morning.

The 20-year-old Watford fast bowler was called up as cover last week, after a number of injuries in the squad, and could make a remarkable ascent into the England side if Stuart Broad fails a fitness test on his back.

Stand-in England skipper Alastair Cook said: "I was very impressed by him.

"I've seen him a lot for Middlesex when I was playing for Essex so knew what he could do. But I was very impressed by how he reacted to the conditions which are different to the English pitches. He adapted very quickly and that's the hallmark of an international cricketer. He has a huge future."
