Cricket: Fit-again Finn set to return

3Dec 2012

Steven Finn has made it clear that he is fit enough to feature for England in the third Test against India in Kolkata, which is scheduled to start on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old fast bowler has been forced to sit out the first two Tests because of a thigh injury but was able to bowl in the nets on Monday. After the session, Finn said: "My recovery's gone well and I'm geared towards playing if selected. I feel confident running around, confident moving about. Hopefully I'm fully-fit." Finn looks set to replace struggling vice-captain Stuart Broad who failed to take a wicket in either of the first two Tests. England are 11/4 with bet365 to win the third Test while India can be backed at 11/10 to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
