Steven Finn warns England that third Ashes Test is not won yet

Steven Finn: 'Game is not won yet'

England bowler Steven Finn has insisted that the third Ashes Test is not yet won, despite a brilliant day for the hosts on day two.

After being bowled out for 281, England restricted Australia to 168-7 in their second innings which gives them a slender lead of just 23 runs.

Finn took 5-45 in a hostile spell and he admitted that he found a good rhythm at Edgbaston.

He told BBC Sport: "It has been a while since I've played Test cricket so to come here and take wickets was great. The rhythm was good. When you've played a fair bit of cricket you try to treat it like another game. It obviously isn't and it is tiring but it has been a good day.

"The game is definitely not won yet. They have players who can bat. There will still be pressure and we need to do a professional job tomorrow."

This is Finn's first Test in two years.
