Just the eight sides in action this week in the Rothesay County Championship, so in this episode, Matt goes deep into the game of the week between Hampshire and Somerset.
He discusses whether Tom Abell should have played for England next to Joe Root and whether Sonny Baker is closer to making a Test Match debut than expected.
But before all of that, substitutes in cricket, good or bad? Let us know in the comments.
