Steven Finn has been call up to England's squad for the second npower Test against India, starting Friday.
The 22-year-old Middlesex player joins the squad due to misgivings over Chris Tremlett's fitness.
Tremlett experienced his hamstring "niggle" for a second time during England's net session on Thursday afternoon; although Captain Andrew Strauss appears hopeful the Surrey man will figure at Trent Bridge.
Strauss said: "We are very sure he should be fine.
"But like all these things, because there is such a short rotate between the two Test matches, we've almost got to wait until Friday morning before we're 100% sure one way or another.
"We'll only choose him if we're 100% he'll get through the game."
Finn, who took 5-33 in a CB40 clash with Derbyshire on Thursday, will compete with Yorkshire all-rounder Tim Bresnan for a place in the XI should Tremlett miss out.
