    "editor1": "<p><strong>Abu Dhabi, October 12 <\/strong>- England fast bowler Steven Finn has been ruled out of the first Test against Pakistan through injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 26-year-old is suffering from a stress injury to his left foot and will play no part in the opening match in Abu Dhabi, which begins on Tuesday. England will play three Tests against Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finn first felt pain in his foot after bowling in England&#39;s second warm-up match against Pakistan A in Sharjah four days ago - but was able to take a full part in nets in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s a bitter blow for him. He bowled really well in that warm-up game, and over the last 12 months he&#39;s made huge strides back to where we&#39;d like him to be. We&#39;ll monitor him, and hope he could be right for the second Test. But we&#39;ll have to wait and see,&quot; England captain Alastair Cook was quoted as saying by ecb.co.uk on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Cook also confirmed Finn was very much in contention to face Pakistan in the first match of the series, after impressing with figures of 4-16 against the second string .<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Absolutely, he was. His performance in that warm-up game was good,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;After the warm-up game, he complained of a pain in his foot ... (then) yesterday he bowled pretty well in the nets, and got through. But obviously it&#39;s got worse.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(IANS)<\/p>\r\n",
