The Sharks head to Birmingham in good heart after completing their first LV County Championship double over the Midlanders since the 1960 season last week at Horsham, and in the process vastly improved their position in the Division 1 standings.

Former Warwickshire man Steffan Piolet starred in Sussex’s opening One-Day Cup encounter on Sunday, as he took two wickets and scored an unbeaten 63 against Nottinghamshire Outlaws.
