George Kruis is available against Argentina on Saturday with Eddie Jones considering his immediate return to Englands starting XV.Kruis has missed the autumn victories over South Africa and Fiji after undergoing minor ankle surgery and his club Saracens estimated that he would be sidelined for four to eight weeks.The second row, an ever-present under Jones until injury struck, has made a rapid recovery while ensconced at Englands Surrey training base and Jones must decide whether to break up the Courtney Lawes-Joe Launchbury partnership that has served him well so far this autumn.Kruis is probably going to be available - hes fit and ready to go. He doesnt necessarily need to play for his club first, Jones said. Its not necessarily better to bring him off the bench. You talk to the players and they like to play with the best players at the start of the game. Well wait and see.Weve got great competition in there because Launchbury and Courtney Lawes have done superbly for us.Neither Joe nor Courtney had great training weeks. They both had ailments that clouded our selection a bit, so their effort against Fiji was good.Jones has already pencilled in his starting XV to face Argentina at Twickenham with Mike Brown set to return at the expense of Alex Goode at full-back.I think I know the team, but its always up for grabs. The players have until 2.20pm on Saturday to get picked! Jones said.A few players may have clouded it a little bit after the Fiji game. I thought Elliot Daly was good on the left wing.Whether thats his best position, Im not sure, but it certainly worked. I was pleased with him and with Jonathan Joseph, whose defence was absolutely outstanding.Jonny May has had a good training week. Hes definitely fitter, definitely ready to go. And Mike Brown is in good nick, so theyll be back competing for selection.When asked about the duel between Brown and Goode, Jones replied: Where do I see it? Intriguing.Theres always one above the other. Its like life. Someone is always above the other. Youll find out when I pick the side next week.

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Lancashire 493 for 9 dec (Livingstone 108*, Croft 94, Petersen 83) drew with Somerset 313 (Hildreth 130, Rogers 55, J Overton 51) and 229 for 2 dec (Trescothick 129*, Rogers 75*)Scorecard It is Somerset Day next week. May 11, if you should like to mark the date. It officially commemorates the day King Alfred gathered the West Saxons together before the Battle of Edington in 878, although it has only been in place for a year and some might be inclined to think of it as a marketing gimmick by the local tourist board.There is a Yorkshire Day and a Lancashire Day, of course, probably one or two others as well, so who is to begrudge them? People will come together next Wednesday to talk about their Somerset heroes over a pint of scrumpy and, depending on how Somersets game against Warwickshire at Edgbaston is going, there might be discussion of the cricket. Marcus Trescothicks name is bound to get a mention.In some ways, every day is Marcus Trescothick Day at the county ground in Taunton, so greatly does his spirit seem to animate the place. There is the Marcus Trescothick Stand over by the river and, in time, there might well be a Marcus Trescothick Pavilion (they do like a pavilion here). There cant be many sportsmen who have experienced the feeling of playing in front of a section of the ground with their name already on it - the renaming of the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand at Old Trafford a few years ago is the only comparison that springs immediately to mind - but it is a regular occurrence for Trescothick.There was a 60th first-class hundred to salute on this occasion, his second in as many weeks, as Somerset fought their way to a third successive draw in the Championship. For the last two or three seasons, Somerset have ended up grappling at the wrong end of the table - it took successive scores of 153, 210 not out and 87 from Trescothick last year to help ease fears of relegation - but they can take something from managing to remain unbeaten at the start of this one, despite having yet to play their best cricket.It was not a vintage innings but Trescothicks unbeaten 129 had value far beyond its technical merit. Somerset had begun the day following on 180 runs in arrears but their former captain batted through until the teams shook hands, spending most of it in the company of his successor, Chris Rogers, who added a second half-century of the match. For the Somerset members basking in the uninterrupted sunshine, there was pplenty of Banger for your Buck.ddddddddddddhe way Trescothick moves forward to leave these days is like a man setting himself against the back of a grand piano, ready to heft it up another flight of stairs. His cut may not emit the same sonic boom as it did a decade ago but the ball still flies off the blade; he sweeps as if trying to chop down a tree with one fell swing of the axe. The hands are still soft enough to cover for what the eyes - now peering out from behind spectacles - occasionally miss.He has agreed a contract to play red-ball cricket only and he may have some heavy lifting to do if Somersets start to the Championship is anything to go by. But he still has the appetite for it and, at 40, he is a couple of years younger than, for instance, Mark Ramprakash was when he finally hung up his bat. If the trend for flatter pitches continues and Trescothick remains fit, Harold Gimbletts first-class runs record for Somerset - some 4000 in the distance - might creep into view.Things could well have been different in this match if Lancashire had experienced a little more fortune but - on Star Wars Day, appropriately - the force was with Trescothick. An edge down the leg side did not quite carry to wicketkeeper Alex Davies on 7 and plenty of his early runs came from nicks and nudges behind square; later in the morning session, on 42, a forward defensive bounced back towards the stumps, necessitating a hasty flick away (with the bat, of course). He survived a direct hit from midwicket on 85, legs pumping after being called through for a single by Rogers.Twice during an over after lunch, James Anderson threw his head back in disgust as controlled outside edges flew low through the cordon. There were no observations forthcoming from the bowler, just a look to the ground and a slow walk to retrieve his sweater from the umpire. Anderson doesnt look happy, was the succinct view up in the Marcus Trescothick Stand. Their man was not going to be budged.At the other end, meanwhile, was a batsman with 73 first-class hundreds to his name. Together, Trescothick and Rogers have amassed more than 48,000 first-class runs and they formed the perfect old (rear)guard for Somerset, putting on an unbroken 168 before everyone agreed to call it quits. Not that Trescothick will be going anywhere else anytime soon.
