He came into bat at number six and was batting on 21 at stumps. Zaheer walked out just as he was about to bowl his last delivery of the innings’ 99th over. He did not return to the field thereafter.Mumbai skipper Ajit Agarkar said that the senior bowler will turn up on Monday. ‘Zak is okay. He is just cramping a bit. He has had a long day and was it very humid here,’ Agarkar said.
MEAKER TO BE COVER FOR FINN
Pacer Stuart Meaker has been called by England as cover for injured Steven Finn ahead of the four-Test series against India. The Surrey bowler will join the team next week. Finn picked up the injury during the first practice game against India A in Mumbai.
