India v England: Stuart Broad and Steven Finn poised to miss final warm-up game ahead of four-Test series They've both got injuries, and I don't think they're going to be ready for this game. Finn managed only four overs before going off injured. Broad got through 10 and was able to take the field, but not bowl, the day after he had his scan. "With a bruised heel, it is something that can be very annoying and can take time to clear up," said Gooch. You've got to see how it goes each day, whether it gets better with the rest - keep checking it and see how it comes on. There's no other way of going about it really. Broad and Finn's anticipated absence tomorrow means there is sure to be an opportunity for Graham Onions to show what he can do again. James Anderson has played both previous warm-up matches, so may well be rested before the first Test, and the other seam-bowling duties against Haryana will probably therefore fall to Tim Bresnan and Stuart Meaker. The latter was called up as cover for Finn but arrived in India only yesterday, after hasty arrangements to secure him a visa as quickly as possible. Gooch was more equivocal, meanwhile, about the identity of Alastair Cook's most likely opening partner tomorrow - and in the first Test. It is thought Nick Compton's unbeaten half-century in Mumbai on Monday has inched him ahead of Joe Root in the battle for an international debut next week. Gooch said of Compton: "He's had a couple of chances already, and Joe Root also played in the last match. I think they're two very good players, obviously at different levels of their career. One has been in the first-class game for quite a while, and gained experience and found his mark, found the way he can score runs and been very successful over the last couple of years for Somerset. The other lad is obviously a young, exciting player. He has a good technique from what I've seen - this is the first time I've seen him close up - and he bowls a bit. So it's going to be quite a difficult selection. Others will come into consideration, perhaps tomorrow or next week, while certainly for the second Test when incumbent number five Ian Bell flies home for the birth of his first child. "Then you've got Eoin Morgan, Jonny Bairstow, Samit Patel all bidding for places," said Gooch. I like competition for places; you want that, people to be putting their hand up and saying 'I want that place in the side'.
