England bowler Steven Finn has been forced off the field with a thigh problem on the opening day of England's tour match with India 'A'.

The pace bowler pulled up just four overs into the day and he will now undergo a scan on the injury.

Batsman Kevin Pietersen started his first match for his country since he was dropped from the side for exchanging texts regarding his England teammates with members of the South Africa team.

The match in Mumbai is England's first of their tour in India, where they are preparing for the four-match Test series which begins on November 15.
