Surrey's veteran batsman Mark Ramprakash will miss the closing weeks of the county season due to a broken thumb.
The 39-year-old former England right-hander was injured in the first innings of his side's clash with Kent, having been struck by a delivery from fast bowler Simon Cook.
A short statement on the club's official website confirmed: "Mark Ramprakash has been ruled out for at least a month.
"This means he will be unavailable for the final three LV Championship matches of the season, a trip to Gloucestershire and home games with Northamptonshire and Glamorgan.
"He will also miss the last three matches in the NatWest Pro40 competition."
