They aren't using the Jon Lewis (Durham's) rulebook on team selection, are they?

I find it difficult to believe he's the same bloke I watched batting for a day at Lord's a couple of years back - there must be a coach somewhere who can get him back on track, but I'm afraid it's neither Chilton nor Chapple

Kent need 110 to win which they should do but Derbyshire have done well there, and you never know? Gloucestershire wallop Leicestershire, probably ending the latter's promotion hopes. Essex and Somerset about to win, placing Hants and the Tykes well and truly in a relegation fight, alongside Worcestershire.
And Durham's batsmen, cough, having had the Friday off, are now playing for their local clubs!

Couple of retirements.
Sean Ervine with immediate effect.
Jimmy Adams at the end of the season.
I'm surprised Glamorgan went out and got Stephen Cook as overseas player when they have nothing to play for in Div 2. Even if they have a young batting line-up.

Division One
Worcestershire v Hampshire
No squad for Worcestershire yet but will be without Moeen & captain Leach still injured. Main XI : Mitchell, Fell, D'Oliveira, Clarke, Milton, Cox, Barnard, Parnell, Twohig, Tongue, Pennington
Steyn & Vince back.
Rossouw paternity leave.
Could be Hampshire debuts for Soames/Donald.
Much of a muchness for Essex. Don't really have depth but a talented competitive predominantly home-grown tight XI
The depth at Surrey is massive. No Roy , Borthwick, Dernbach due to injury.
Youthful energy of academy products Patel, Jacks, Pope (back from England), Smith, Virdi, T.Curran, McKerr even without S.Curran
Senior pros : Burns, Stoneman, Elgar, Clarke, Morkel
Notts v Yorks
Two clubs with all sorts of problems at the moment.
Should be a Notts Championship debut for Duckett. Slater's 2nd game. Still unavailable are Coughlin, Ball but really surprised spinner Matthew Carter isn't in as he has been impressive.
Jeet Raval comes in for Kane Williamson. Batting looks thin. Bresnan returns after 1 game rest.
Dropped Jack Leaning again. Fisher injured again and joins Pattersom & Coad there.
Somerset v Lancs
This could be a spin fest.
For Somerset no real changes. Just Bartlett can't get back into the squad. Been Green off a 2nd XI hundred replaces Trego. 4 spinners in squad and Groenewald still injured
Dropped : Hameed, Jones
Back in : Brown, Lamb, Guest, Hurt
Injured : Clark, Mahmood (season)

Got to feel for Hameed but dropping him seems the right thing to do until his head is in the right place. Yorkshire also now have David Willey crooked, Lyth is Captaining today. Hope Duckett can settle down and rediscover his touch. And of course, keeping an eye on the Surrey openers from an England perspective...

Burns is on another score here, 69* of 145, with his partner in chrime Stoneman falling early on 12. The other name nocking around at the minute, Denly scores failed on 12 also.

It's fine. England won the series anyway and Burns has been available to do his thing for Surrey. And I'm not a great fan of debuts in the last test of the summer unless absolutely necessary.
More interestingly, 16 wickets by tea at Taunton today, with Lancashire maybe establishing a first innings lead after being dismissed for 99.

Indeed, so there's no rush.

Suppose so and selfishly getting Surrey over the line as captain and being there the whole way will be great. When I saw somerset included vd Merwe and Waller in the squad too I was thinking what are they planning but seamers loving life too. Saying that C.Overton and J.Overton were pretty good on these wickets last season.
Talk is they will continue to back Jennings as the left-handed opener and Denly is favoured to partner him. But maybe they will take Burns with as well.
