Dan Redfern comes in for Wayne Madsen in today's game at Headingley. Madsen rests a slight injury, presumably ahead of the County Championship match that starts tomorrow at Lords.
I would also expect Mark Footitt to sit out today's game so he is firing on all cylinders for the four day game that takes on additional importance in the light of Middlesex's unexpected win over runaway leaders Sussex yesterday.
Yorkshire's squad for today is:
Andrew Gale
Jacques Rudolph
Adam Lyth
Anthony McGrath
Gerard Brophy
Adil Rashid
Richard Pyrah
David Wainwright
Tino Best
Steve Patterson
Ben Sanderson
Azeem Rafiq
Joe Sayers
Moin Ashraf
This will be a tough game for Derbyshire and a far better benchmark of where we are as a side than Friday's game at Northampton.
Back to the Championship match and it is surprising that the southern county have started so badly, as they have a decent looking squad and have named the following thirteen for tomorrow's game:
Shaun Udal
Gareth Berg
Pedro Collins
Neil Dexter
Steven Finn
Dawid Malan
Tim Murtagh
Scott Newman
Iain O'Brien
Owais Shah
John Simpson
Tom Smith
Andrew Strauss
With England players Strauss, Shah and Finn in the side, we cannot afford to relax and assume that a win is there for the taking, but a victory in this one will keep the pressure on Sussex at the top of the table. If the side keep doing the things that have served them well so far, it should be a close and absorbing contest.
