Gooch reveals Broad, Finn first Test doubt

England batting coach Graham Gooch has admitted that the absences of Stuart Broad and Steven Finn for the final warm-up game leaves a "big question mark" over their first Test fitness.

Broad's absence was reported as a precautionary measure, however Gooch's comments have raised doubt over the all-rounder's recovery from a heel injury he picked up against Mumbai 'A'.

"It's not ideal," BBC Sport quotes Gooch as saying. "It puts a big question mark, that's fairly obvious."

The first Test of the four-match series starts on November 15.
