Joe Denly will be hoping to add to his 2017 run-tally of 1,611 runs, following a record-breaking win at Essex.

Surrey will go into the match without batsman Mark Stoneman, who is playing in England’s day/night Test in Birmingham, as well as Kevin Pietersen through injury. Tom Curran faces a late fitness test on a back injury.

The winners will secure a place in the last eight – which is very likely to be away to the runners-up from the North Group.

Gates open at 5pm, arrive early to avoid the queues. Park & Ride at New Dover Road (CT1 3EJ) or  at Simon Langton Girls Grammar (CT1 3EW).
