Steve Finn made his England Test debut this morning against Bangladesh.

The 20-year-old Watford fast bowler got the nod to line up in the side for the first Test in Chittagong. It completed a dramatic elevation into international cricket for the Middlesex prospect.

Finn, 6ft 7in, was only called up last week due to injuries, but his performance in the warm-up game against Bangladesh A was enough to win a place in the team.

England made a dominant start to the match with skipper Alastair Cook unbeaten on 144 as the tourists reached 332 for three.
