Steve Finn called up to England squad amid Chris Tremlett's injury fears

Finn called up to England squad

Steve Finn has been called up to the England squad on the eve of the second Test against India at Trent Bridge.

The 22-year-old's inclusion comes as England assess the fitness of bowler Chris Tremlett.

The fast-bowler carried a hamstring injury through the first Test at Lord's and missed training on Wednesday night before a limited practice session in the nets on Thursday evening.

Captain Andrew Strauss said: "I think he's fine, obviously he's had a bit of a niggle with his hamstring.

"At the moment we expect him to be fit but obviously like all these things we'll see in the morning - we're confident he should be okay."

If Tremlett is ruled out, Finn will be competing with Tim Bresnan for a place in the starting XI.
