MICHAEL Lumb is hoping to build on his impressive Pro40 form against the Nottinghamshire Outlaws.

Lumb struck 62 from just 40 balls as the Hawks began their first season back in the first division of the Pro40 competition with a two-run win against the Essex Eagles, the defending champions, on Sunday.

Tonight the 26-year-old is hoping to maintain his clean-hitting against the county he turned down before leaving Yorkshire last year.

Lumb said: "I've felt good all year. Even though I haven't got the scores I would have liked, I haven't felt out of touch.

"The weather hasn't helped, it's been a very stop-start season and there's been a lot of sitting around, which has been a bit of a nightmare.

"But enough's enough now, we just want to be out there and it was nice to spend some time in the middle and get some confidence up on Sunday."
