Lose this game. Win both matches in next week's double-header vs Glamorgan and Middlesex. Win one of the two matches in the double-header the week after vs Essex and Sussex. That would see us go into the break with a 5-3 win-lose record, which would be absolutely fine - especially when two of those three losses would be against Somerset and Surrey.
It's the massive negative of such a big group stage (and always has been since they moved from three groups to two). Individual matches lack importance. Aside from hoping our NRR doesn't get trashed, I don't care about this innings. It barely matters.
