Tour match, Ahmedabad (day two of four):

Haryana 172-4 v England 521

Match scorecard

England had contrasting fitness news on the penultimate day of their final warm-up match as Haryana closed 349 runs behind on 172-4 in Ahmedabad.

Wicketkeeper Matt Prior was taken ill and the Indian Cricket Board gave special dispensation for Jonny Bairstow to replace him behind the stumps.

However, the injured Steven Finn was able to bowl in the adjacent nets.

Resuming on 408-3, England were all out for 521 (Samit Patel 67), but they struggled for wickets on a flat pitch.

Finn has not played since suffering a thigh injury in the opening match of the tour against India A last month, but he was able to test the problem and could yet come into contention for the first Test against India in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

Prior had already left the field in discomfort but was forced to return after the umpires and match referee refused to endorse his substitution behind the timbers by a player not already involved in the match.

Although technically a contravention of first-class regulations, at England's behest, and in the absence of a suitable replacement among those who started the match, the BCCI decided common sense should prevail.
