It's early October and the sun is shining at Hampshire's Utilita Bowl home.

The mercury is hovering around the 12 degree mark and in the shade there's a distinct chill.

Lilac Hill on Thursday will be a stark contrast.

There, in the white heat of a pre-Ashes friendly against Ben Stokes' England, Eddie Jack could find himself running in against the cream of the nation's batting in the only match before the series kicks off at the Optus Stadium next week.
