For a pace bowler there is no finer feeling when everything clicks into place and he can enter the zone. The run-up is precise and urgent, the action grooved and the intent full. Everything that happens at his end is a given and all energy – physical and mental – can be focused on the batsman at the other end. It is sublime. In Christchurch’s Hagley Park last Monday, probably for the first time since he was in New Zealand almost two years ago, Steven Finn found himself in that nirvana. Forget for now Moeen Ali’s century, or the fact that it helped England to their first win of this World Cup, because the manner in which Finn bowled to take three for 26 against Scotland carried more significance than anything else this winter.
