Hants have been a shambles with the bat but have an extremely potent bowling attack led by Kyle Abbott.

For us Manav Suthar is available after Test duty. This will rule Michael Booth ineligible for selection hence him playing for the 2's today. Kai Smith you'd think will be keeping hence his absence from the 2's.

Expect a result wicket, with potentially some turn on offer.

I agree, Kai & Suthar in for Davies & Booth and also I think, Chris W will be back, for Thompson.

Yes, Davies, Booth and Simmons out of the squad and Kai and Suthar in - but no Chris Woakes.

No squad list, but they’ve announced the headlines in the match preview on the site. In the interview with Westwood posted earlier, he says he expects Woakes to play.

Woakes was in the last squad wasn’t he?

Just not in the XI

Didn't know they'd signed Kuggelijn? When was this?

They’re basically just announced him in the squad without announcing they’d signed him and getting a v angry social media reaction!
