“There is a little bit of pressure because you’re being used a strike bowler but you don’t change your plans or the way that you are going to bowl because of that.
“It doesn’t mean you start bowling bumpers and yorkers all the time searching for wickets. You still have to have a degree of patience and use your skills wisely.”
Finn, 23, had a successful one-day series in India a year ago in an otherwise eminently forgettable trip for England in which they lost all five 50-over matches.
The eight wickets that he bagged were perhaps not as important as the manner in which he rattled India’s batsmen with his speed and bounce.
There were times in the past fortnight when his injury resisted treatment that Finn thought he might have to leave the tour. Eventually five days’ rest did the trick but he had only sympathy for Broad’s predicament.
Finn added: “I have been there a couple of times in my career so far, mainly halfway through the Ashes tour, I suppose. It’s difficult as a bowler, there’s no hiding place and you have to keep running in.”
