The Championship resumes on Aug 20th v Sussex.

Averages before the game https://countycrickethub.net/team-averages.html?teamid=16&comp=1&year=2026

Suthar and Will Young come into the squad, with Young replacing Beau Webster.

Hopefully we do not include specialist batters who are aaveraging below 17 in the championship.

Suthar won't be available til September, currently playing for India v Sri Lanka.

Might open up a spot for Michael Booth to play.

Young
Yates
Mousley
Hain
Barnard
Davies
Jani
Thompson

With a change of Smith for Davies, that looks a reasonable team, but I'd , have Jani batting at 5 with Smith at 7, & keeping.

Obviously if Chris Woakes is fit I'd include him in the team.

Are neither Barker not Woakes fit again?

Side law that my weather app now showing rain on all four days after weeks of no rain whilst there was no proper cricket!
