Who are England's Test match candidates? Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain discuss the impact of James Rew in the County Championship.
Rew is the most prolific run-scorer in the country but England's middle-order appears to be locked in with Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, Harry Brook and Ben Stokes cementing their spots, so the 22-year-old's best hope could be to open the batting for Somerset to challenge under-pressure batsmen Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett.
The left-hander's run-scoring in the Championship is bettered only by Jamie Smith so if he does get a call-up, England could face a quandary on how to fit him in for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's on June 4.
