England A v Pakistan

KENT skipper Rob Key will want to make an eye-catching impact with his leadership skills as well as his bat when he captains England A against Pakistan in Canterbury.

The four-day clash, which gets underway on Thursday, sees Key take a two-match break from Spitfires' Twenty20 campaign.

He said: "It’s always good to be involved in international cricket whatever the level and to get some runs in front of the England selectors is a bonus."

Entrance to the game is free for Kent members, otherwise admission is £12 for adults, £8 seniors and £6 juniors with parking at £10 per car.

England A: Robert Key (Kent), Ian Bell (Warwickshire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Leicestershire), Alastair Cook (Essex), James Dalrymple (Middlesex), Matthew Hoggard (Yorkshire), Alex Loudon (Warwickshire), Chris Read (Nottinghamshire), Owais Shah (Middlesex).
