Darren Lehmann is backing the Steelbacks to bounce back to winning ways against Warwickshire at Wantage Road tomorrow following a second heavy defeat to Somerset at Taunton last night.

The men’s head coach said the county had no problem lifting themselves for last night’s game having already secured a home quarter-final, but acknowledged they had been outplayed in all departments. He also credited Somerset’s bowlers for a good performance on a slow wicket and said his side had fallen 20 or 30 short.
