seamer

Seamer Prasidh Krishna took 4-41, making him the tournament's leading wicket-taker.

When Rew, having advanced his score to 31, took on the seamer and top-edged a pull shot to deep mid-wicket, Tom Hinley contrived to drop a sitter.

The one hope for Surrey's competitors could be a raft of international call-ups and prolific seamer Dan Worrall is now qualified to play for England.

Former England opener Mark Stoneman has been drafted in from Second Division Middlesex but the loss of Pakistan seamer Mohammad Abbas could leave a big hole in their wickets column.

After winning only one game last season and drawing 10, Leicestershire will look to a talented - and, in Louis Kimber, explosive - batting line-up boosted by the signing of Pakistan's Shan Masood while the acquisition of Dutch seamer Logan van Beek could also be a shrewd move.
