England captain Alastair Cook scored 39 runs on his first outing since the winter's Ashes in Australia.
Representing his county side Essex, the 29-year-old hit seven fours during a warm-up encounter against Cambridge MCCU.
However, having faced 124 deliveries, the left-hander was trapped lbw by 20-year-old bowler Alasdair Pollock.
Essex begin their County Championship campaign against Derbyshire next Sunday.
