England coach Andy Flower has refused to write off Steve Finn's chances of making the first Test against Bangladesh.

The 20-year-old Watford fast bowler flew out as cover last week and could complete a dramatic rise into the international spotlight if he is picked for Friday's match.

Flower said: "I wouldn't rule Finn out. He's been added to the party and he's a contender for selection.

"He did very well to get off the plane before this game and then rock up and bowl the next day. He's handled himself well for a young man and has been impressive.

"He's bowled with pace on a slow pitch and bowled with accuracy; he's quite a good prospect."

Finn took two for 13 and one for 20 in England's three-day draw with Bangladesh A.
