Henry Brookes, a very talented and highly skilled young quick bowler from Warwickshire, has arrived ahead of the game and will be available for the next two County Championship fixtures.

He will bolster an attack that has struggled thus far, but with Brookes at one end and Chappell at the other it takes a little pressure from Sam Conners and Ben Aitchison, one of who is likely to drop out of the 13 named tomorrow.

Suranga Lakmal is in the squad, but it has already been said that he is building his fitness so logically he will be the other to miss out.

There had to be a change at the top of the order, because Haider Ali and Billy Godleman lasted nine balls between them in the match at Durham. After a good innings for the second team at Repton, Harry Came earned the right to play at the top of the order.

Likely team:

Came, Ali, Guest, Madsen, du Plooy, Lamb, Reece, Chappell, Brookes, Watt, Conners/Aitchison (Lakmal)

They will face an in form Leicestershire side, who have four of the top six highest scoring batters in division two. A struggling Derbyshire bowling side might not find it easy to work its way through such an order, but the visitors attack isn’t as strong as their batting.

On a Derby wicket that will likely favour batters, I am going for a draw here, especially with a fair amount of rain in the forecast.

What do you think?
