Wales Cricket Board: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said off-spinner Shoaib Bashir is expected to bowl in the fourth innings of the ongoing third Test at Lord’s, but refused to give any clarity on whether he will be fit to bat for the side.

During day three’s play, on the fifth ball of the 78th over of India’s first innings, Bashir injured his left little finger while trying to stop a powerful drive from veteran India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja off his own bowling and immediately called for medical help.

He then walked off the field for more treatment, and Joe Root stepped up to complete the over and bowl ten more overs on day three. "Following his left little finger injury, Shoaib Bashir continues to be monitored and is expected to bowl in the fourth innings of this Test."
