The New Zealand pace bowler Iain O'Brien is expected to be available for the second cricket Test against Pakistan, starting in Wellington on Thursday.
O'Brien suffered a dislocation of the middle finger of his right hand during the first Test in Dunedin.
He saw a specialist in Wellington late yesterday and x-rays confirmed that there was no fracture.
He has minor swelling and discomfort but is expected to recover fully and will be available for selection.
