Daily Highlights: Surrey v Hampshire, Vitality CC
Watch highlights of each day of Hampshire's Vitality County Championship match against Surrey at The Kia Oval
Mason Crane is set to join England's Under-19s for the last two matches of their Royal London One-Day Series against Australia.
Crane, has made rapid strides with Hampshire this summer, and England's coach Andy Hurry was happy to leave him playing regular county cricket even though it meant him missing the four-day match against Australia in Durham as well as the first three 50-over games.
But Hampshire are not involved in the latest round of matches in the LV= County Championship that start on Friday, so Hurry has agreed with their director of cricket Giles White that Crane can link up with the England squad after the Royal London One-Day Cup match against Notts Outlaws at Trent Bridge today.
That means he could join fellow Hampshire spinner Brad Taylor in the England team for the Thursday's game in Leicester followed by the last game of the series on Saturday at New Road, Worcester.
It's been pleasing to see Mason making such an impression with Hampshire this summer, as well as other players who have recently been on the EDP (England Development Programme) or in our Under-19 or Under-17 teams such as Matt Fisher at Yorkshire, Sam Curran at Surrey, and Ed Barnard and Joe Clarke at Worcestershire.

I've been in regular contact with Giles White at Hampshire and it's great that Mason will now be able to have the experience of playing against Australia in these last two games. It's been an excellent series so far and at 1-1 with two to play, it's set up perfectly for a good finish.
England lost the first game at South Northumberland CC in Gosforth but bounced back, after a washout in Chesterfield, to square the series with a three-wicket win in Derby on Monday night, set up by a brilliant century from Dan Lawrence.
