Steven Finn has been called up to the England squad for the remainder of the ICC Champions Trophy following an injury to Chris Woakes.
All-rounder Woakes suffered a left side strain after bowling just two overs in England's opening victory over Bangladesh and, following a scan, was ruled out of the rest of the tournament.
Middlesex seamer Finn's call-up has been approved by competition officials and he will be available for Tuesday's match against New Zealand in Cardiff.
Finn has represented England in 68 one-day internationals, taking 102 wickets, and was part of the team that lost to South Africa in the third ODI at Lord's last week.
The 28-year-old posted bowling figures of 0-35, having contributed three runs in the seven-wicket defeat to the Proteas. England won the series 2-1.
