He played his county cricket with Middlesex and Somerset and went onto to make his full Test debut in the first match against India in Ahmedabad.
He made 9 and 37, sharing in a first-wicket, second innings partnership of 123 with Alastair Cook. He made his maiden Test 50 in the 3rd Test at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
