But as classy a hundred as any by an opener over the weekend was the one made by Rehan Ahmed, against a challenging Lancashire attack even if it was in division two. He has always had the strokes but as Leicestershire's new opener he has started building an innings. The best example of his balance was the back-foot drive that was barely a shot as he had no need to follow through, such was his timing, which took him to 97.

For a Test in England, Worrall would not be far from a like-for-like replacement for Anderson. His outstanding first-class record for Surrey last season was 52 wickets at 16 each. But as he has represented Australia, if only in three one-day internationals, it would feel strange if he were selected for England, despite his UK passport - as strange as when Darren Pattinson was given a Test in 2008.

Surrey’s attempt at making it four championship titles in a row, after a losing draw against Essex, gathered steam as they rolled over Hampshire for 219 at the Oval. Dan Worrall, their strike bowler, took three wickets for 37, which the champions converted into a lead of 170 before bad light. AdvertisementWorrall, 33, might not secure a knighthood for his services to fast-medium bowling but he still has something in common with James Anderson, beginning with the same speed of 81-82 mph.

Rawalpindi was the 500th Test I’ve covered. Nice symmetry as my first England tour began here in 1977. In a warmup game England scored 64 for nine then, this time they made 112, so things are looking up.
Greetings from Rawalpindi. My first England tour began here in 1977 and tomorrow will be my 500th Test: a series decider, on a turner, and nobody knows the outcome. Such is the continuing fascination of Test cricket!
I’m putting down Josh Hull to become the first England leftarm pace bowler to take 100 Test wickets, and Daniel Hogg to take 150 plus if he stays fit.
