I see he's been called up to replace Crane who has a stress fracture. Good move I think. More likely to give control than Crane, who I've only seen bowl once live, and thought was woeful. As an aside I can't recall too many spinners getting a stress fracture.

Probably got it carrying the drinks.

Looks like he knows one end of a bat from the other, at least. Aggers is tipping him as a future England nightwatchman.

I look forward to seeing him bowl tomorrow.

Be interesting to see if they also call on Bess this summer. Looked quality against us this week...which is not saying much.  If these two can demonstrate they can perform away from Taunton that'll be useful for the rebuild job.

I was impressed with what I saw of them for Somerset at Chelmsford last year, good to see both can bat as well as bowl - given Eng's batting they'll need to !!
