Sussex have given a vote of confidence to their one-day team ahead of tomorrow's crucial Benson and Hedges Cup tie against Kent at Canterbury.

The county were beaten by 20 runs in Sunday's opener against Essex after they collaposed from 103-1 to 114-6 chasing a victory target of 207.

Skipper Chris Adams has warned that another defeat will virtually end their chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

He said: "I was furious with myself for getting out but to say I was disappointed with what followed is an understatement.

"In three overs we were dead and buried. I only hope it acts as a wake-up call for some of our batsmen.

"I like the balance of the side though so there won't be any changes. The three seamers all did a good job and Michael Yardy bowled well too.

"You can just about get away with losing twoi group games but only if you have got a belting run rate and we are struggling in that respect after Sunday."

Sussex need to improve on a dismal record in the competition against Kent.

They have lost three of their last four matches in the B&H against last season's National League champions and have not won in Canterbury since 1989.
