Why aren't the England boys playing, especially the batsman?

Fair enough you've had a long winter but the only way to get back into form is by playing and not doing other rubish like PR work or Lambing!

Give them a break mate, some of them have played as many as 7 tests in the last 6 months, got to think about burnout

And it would disproportionately favour Yorkshire so...never gonna happen...

I doubt 3 test matches since the new year would have taken much out of Broad, Anderson and Cook...

And yes that is the main reason but didn't want to sound bitter

[Jlscarroll17]

was he batting at the Charles Tyrwhitt Oval by any chance? 

Jennings and hameed had the luxury of Chelmsford, certainly isn't a bowlers paradise either

Umpires making much use of bat gauge at The Oval.

[Mister Le Chiffre]

Matt Henry enjoying himself 5-28 and 5-22, career best match figures for the Kiwi

Looks like Foster and Harmer have taken the game away from Lancs

[procricket]

Ed Barnard batted and bowled very very well.

Fidel Edwards bat appeared to nearly fail the gauge test. This seemed to amuse the Surrey players.

I like how pretty much every player has walked out and been asked to go up against the old gauge.

Great day for us and building up a very nice lead thanks to Borthwick and Foakes.

[rickjames]

Ollie Pope is an exceptional talent.

Didn't even need old Morne for this game. All hail Amar Virdi
