DORSET will be hoping to edge closer to qualifying for a quarter-final berth in the MCCA Knockout Trophy when they host Staffordshire tomorrow (11am).

Victory over winless Staffordshire at Dean Park would all but guarantee Dorset a top-two spot in Group Four and a place in the last eight of the competition.

Dorset have made three changes from their seven-wicket win against Berkshire with Nick Park, Scott Barlow and Lewis McManus all unavailable. Charlie Esson, Matt Metcalfe and Simon Watkins are their replacements.

Dorset: Esson, Lintott, Khan, Williams, C Park, Hicks, Wolstenholme, Watkins, Denham, Metcalfe, Ladd-Gibbon.
