WORCESTER Royals return to Twenty20 Cup action this evening when they take on Northamptonshire Steelbacks at Luton (5.30pm).

They are expected to be unchanged from the side which launched their campaign with a thrilling one run victory over Gloucestershire Gladiators at a packed New Road last Friday.

County skipper Ben Smith said: "I think we will be going into it tonight relatively confident of being the better side of the two."

Meanwhile, batsman Stephen Moore's excellent form during June has earned him the latest ZMB Developments player-of-the-month award.

The 23-year-old opener rattled up 360 runs in the Frizzell County Championship Division One during the month at an average of 70.80.

His tally included centuries in consecutive matches against Middlesex at Lord's and Surrey at New Road.

Worcestershire: Solanki, Hick, Hall, Smith, Leatherdale, Bichel, Moore, Batty, Pipe, Wigley, Nadeem.
