England bowler Steven Finn takes four wickets

Steven Finn staked his claim for inclusion in the England Test team thanks to a four-wicket haul in a warm-up encounter against a Pakistan 'A' side earlier today.

It is widely accepted that the 26-year-old is in a battle with Liam Plunkett and Mark Wood for the final place in the pace attack alongside James Anderson and Stuart Broad.

In what is the second of two two-day matches prior to the upcoming three-Test series against Pakistan in the UAE, Finn had, at one stage, taken four wickets at the expense of just two runs.

At the close of play, Finn's figures were 4-16, while spinner Adil Rashid also weighed in with three wickets.
