Rory Burns and Dom Sibley both notched timely hundreds in the County Championship, with the two openers pushing for an England recall.
Burns was axed after a lean Ashes series saw him score just 77 runs at an average of 12.83, but he still has a central contract and remains the only specialist batter that made their Test debut after 2015 to have a career average over 20.
Gareth Batty, his head coach at Surrey, insisted Burns remains the "best opener in the country". And with neither Zak Crawley and Alex Lees nailing down their spot at the top of the order in the West Indies, he could force his way back into contention.
