KENT will cross swords with Craig White’s Yorkshire for the second time in two weeks this Sunday in a NatWest Pro40 League game at Scarborough that both sides will want to win.

Yorkshire had the best of a rain-ruined championship draw at Headingley last month, but Spitfires will want to continue their fresh approach to one-day cricket that started with last weekend’s comfortable seven-wicket victory over Derbyshire.

Rob Key’s side have risen to fifth in Division 2 with three wins from six starts following their successful batting re-shuffle against the Phantoms and will look to build on that success at North Marine Road this weekend.

Key will hope to convince overseas all-rounder Dwayne Bravo to make the 700-mile round trip on the Kent team coach for what may yet prove his last game for the county.

Bravo indicated last week that he would be leaving Kent to join a West Indies’ development squad scheduled to play in Singapore next week, but Kent have reminded the player that he is contracted to them until September 21.

What the outcome of the tug-of-war will be, only time will tell, but either way, Kent and Key seem likely to come out of the deal somewhat disappointed after Bravo’s below-par performances to date.

The Spitfires’ skipper will not risk his vice-skipper and veteran spinner Min Patel, who has been suffering with back spasms, and has included both James Tredwell and Rob Ferley in his squad.

Young batsman Joe Denly will also make the trip north as potential cover should Key need to return home early to be with his wife Fleur, who is expecting their first child on Monday.

Yorkshire, meanwhile, may yet be in the running for the wooden spoon after a dismal run of one-day form that has led to one victory from the same number of games.

The game, Kent’s first in September, will start half-an-hour earlier than usual at 1.15pm.

Kent from: Key, Jones, Stevens, van Jaarsveld, Walker, Dexter, Bravo, Henderson, Tredwell, Ferley, Cook, Denly.
