Sussex are planning to tread carefully with fit-again Tymal Mills.

But they are delighted to see him back on the bus as they head west.

The England pace star is in a 13-man squad to face Hampshire in NatWest T20 Blast action at the Ageas Bowl tonight (7pm).

Mills came through a second team outing on Tuesday, albeit wicketless, and comes into a stretch of three fixtures in four days.

Sharks boss Mark Davis said: “He looked okay on Tuesday.

“He hadn’t bowled for a long time but it was just nice to see him out there bowling. That’s a great sight in itself.

“I think we have got to be really smart with him. We probably can’t play him in all the games.

“Three games in four days is a lot. Two out of the three would be a good effort.”
