Steve Finn marked his Test debut with a win for England in Bangladesh.

The 20-year-old Watford fast bowler took two wickets during an encouraging first appearance for the senior team on a difficult pitch. Finn finished with figures of one for 48 and one for 47.

England skipper Alastair Cook praised his side's bowlers for their persistence in the 181-run win.

He told Sky Sports: "It wasn't easy in the last two days. Credit to our bowlers for sticking to the task.

"All three seam bowlers kept running in on an unresponsive pitch and backed up Swanny [Graeme Swann] fantastically."
