Calvin Harrison says the Steelbacks won’t be easing up on their aggressive approach despite their stunning start to their Vitality Blast campaign which has brought them seven straight T20 wins.

The Steelbacks take on second-placed Gloucestershire in Bristol this evening after a few days off to celebrate their demolition of Essex at the cinch County Ground on Friday night. Harrison himself wrapped up that game with remarkable career-best figures of 5 for 9.

Looking ahead to playing in Bristol, Harrison said: “We don't want to let up and be complacent. We're treating every game as if it's the first game of the season, and the consequence of a loss would feel exactly the same now as it would at the very beginning of the competition.
