Sussex coach Peter Moores believes James Kirtley has bowled himself into the England one-day squad after his match-winning performance at Headingley.

Kirtley followed up his first innings 5-49 by taking 5-41 on Saturday as Sussex bowled out their hosts for 125 in 43.2 overs to wrap up victory by an innings and 94 runs.

Sussex's first Championship win of the season over Yorkshire sent the tottering Tykes tumbling to the bottom of the first division.

The England squad for the triangular tournament, which also involves India and Sri Lanka, is announced on Wednesday and Moores is confident Kirtley will be among the names, especially as injury doubts remain over Darren Gough and now Andrew Caddick.

The fourth ten-wicket match haul of his career means Kirtley has now taken 20 Championship wickets in his last three games and he also took two Sri Lankan scalps in the unofficial Test trial at Chesterfield two weeks ago.

Moores said: "I think James has got a very good chance, taking ten wickets in a match couldn't have come at a much better time for him.

"Even with his re-modelled action he is still as consistent as ever. He's getting close to 50 wickets in all cricket already this season. He has taken 29 of them in the first division and he bowled really well at Chesterfield last week in front of all the right people."

Kirtley is trying to keep his feet firmly on the ground, but it will be a major surprise if he doesn't get the chance to add to the three international appearances he made in Zimbabwe last October.

He said: "I very much want to be part of the England set-up. If you're ambitious then playing for your country should be one of the goals you have.

"I'm really happy with my form. It's taken me time to hit my rhythms but that's 20 wickets in the last three games now, the new action certainly hasn't made me a worse bowler. In fact I'm getting a fraction more bounce and I can't remember a better start to a season than this on a personal level."

Saturday's much-needed success was Sussex's first in six games since winning promotion and lifted them out of the bottom three.

It wasn't just about Kirtley either. Beating the champions in their own back yard will have given the squad a huge lift and they must be confident of another win when Yorkshire arrive at Arundel on Wednesday week, even if Kirtley isn't there to help them.

Yorkshire began the final day 211 in arrears, but any hopes they had of batting through were effectively over by lunch by which time they had been reduced to 99-7.

Kirtley wrecked their top order by taking the first four wickets. Craig White was strangled down the leg side, Michael Lumb gloved a nasty lifter, Matthew Wood played all round a full-length ball and Simon Katich was beaten by late inswing.

There wasn't a lot wrong with Sussex's support bowling either. For the first time this season the attack conceded less than three runs an over and on a pitch which was always doing a bit for the, Yorkshire buckled under the pressure.

The cheering in the surrounding streets celebrating England's win over Denmark was still echoing around a near-deserted Headingley when the final wicket was taken at 2.25pm.

Vic Craven played all round Kevin Innes's fourth ball and Innes struck again a couple of overs later when Anthony McGrath fatally played back to one which kept low. Billy Taylor got in on the act when he had Gavin Hamilton caught at second slip and in the first over after lunch Chris Silverwood drove all over an inswinger from Robin Martin-Jenkins.

Sussex were briefly held up by a stand of 24, the highest of the innings, between Richard Blakey and Steve Kirby before Kirby was caught at cover when Martin-Jenkins cleverly held one back.

Fittingly, Kirtley finished things off when he extracted extra bounce to have the obdurate Blakey caught behind. An hour later, as Sussex headed home down the M1, Yorkshire coach Wayne Clark and his players were still in the dressing room conducting an inquest into their fifth defeat in six games in defence of their title.

Kirtley said: "We're delighted with the way we played and obviously the result "Batting-wise, Tim Ambrose and Matt Prior did magnificently for us to turn things around on the first day and the support Robin and I got with the ball was fantastic.

"Before now we've tended to worry about the outcome rather than the processes involved in winning matches which are building partnerships and bowling well as a unit. We did that in this game and also held our catches and when we do that I think we are a match for any side in this division."

Scores: Sussex 435 (Ambrose 149, Prior 83), Yorkshire 216 (McGrath 71, Kirtley 5-49) and 125 (Kirtley 5-41). Sussex (20pts) beat Yorkshire (5) by an innings and 94 runs.
