The same 13 man squad travel to Hove.
Rob Yates in line to return to the top of the order after an X-ray on his hand confirmed he’d not suffered a fracture.

Odd looking side with Michael Rae in for Miles. Theo Wylie doesn't appear in the team either. So is that:

Yates
Barnard
Rhodes
Hamza
Burgess
Benjamin
Kai Smith
Lintott
Taz Ali
Rae
OHD

I think we need the extra bat in Kai Smith and Benjamin play, shame we couldn't get Wylie in somehow.

The BBC comentary confirmed it is Booth not Rae, as also confirmed by the live scores page.

That makes more sense. Must have been a cricinfo glitch

After we put them in I was starting to worry when they were 70/0 after 10 but 103/10 off the next 25 is a superb come back.

174 to win.

Work to do here...

Chance for Benjamin here...

A couple of lovely drives off width balls then missed a straight one.

This was a great opportunity for Benjamin to get his head down and play a decent knock. If Burgess still can't keep wicket in the next game, give it to Kai Smith.

Two wonderful shots from young Smith - keep him in the side!

What a shame Smith just failed to get 50.

An excellent innings by Kai Smith, he did enough to stay in the side for the rest of the competition.

Bit harsh that lbw decision wasn't it? Rhodes wasn't convinced.

Never seen so many LBWs given. We got 6 in their innings.

Well that was tight!

Anyone know when we last won by one wicket?

Phew, made that look harder than it needed to be

To close for comfort! Well done to Lintott & OHD for seeing us through at the end.

I’ve got socks older than those two umpires, think it was the enthusiasm of youth!

But those in power tell us the 16.4 is more interesting to watch…..
