James Rew: Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain discuss England Test call-up prospects for Somerset star

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.
