County Championship previews - Telegraph Liverpool (10.30am): Lancashire, who were relegated last week, will give a first-class debut to England under-19 wicketkeeper Alex Davies in place of Gareth Cross. Slow left-armer Gary Keedy and seamer Oliver Newby are also in the squad. Surrey have rested England outcast Kevin Pietersen and slow left-armer Murali Kartik, having secured First Division status last week. Nottinghamshire v Warwickshire Taunton (10.30am): Somerset, who are one of four counties chasing the £215,500 runners-up prize, expect Nick Compton, the leading run-scorer in first-class cricket this season, to return after five weeks out with a back problem. Relegated Worcestershire add Gareth Andrew, who has recovered from injury, and England under-19 international Aneesh Kapil to their side. Division Two Derbys v Hampshire Derby (10.30am): Derbyshire, whose lead was cut to a point following last week's defeat by Kent, are expected to field an unchanged side as all-rounder Jon Clare and seamer Mark Footitt are still sidelined by back injuries. Hampshire have rested Simon Katich ahead of Saturday's CB40 final against Warwickshire. Chris Wood, Kabir Ali and Hamza Riazuddin are in the squad. Essex v Yorkshire Chelmsford (10.30am): Essex are again missing seamer David Master, who has been awarded a benefit next year, with a side strain. Paceman Maurice Chambers is also sidelined by a thigh injury so Tymal Mills comes into the side that beat Hampshire. Second-placed Yorkshire have added leg-spinner Adil Rashid and seamer Oliver Hannon-Dalby to their side. Glamorgan v Kent Cardiff (10.30am): Former England off-spinner Robert Croft will make the 407th and final first-class appearance of his career - and 364th for Glamorgan - before he retires. Michael Reed is added to the side beaten by Yorkshire. Kent have called up England under-19 batsman Daniel Bell-Drummond for a possible first championship game of the season. Leicestershire v Gloucestershire Leicester (10.30am): Leicestershire have recalled batsman Greg Smith and have included slow left-armer James Sykes, who has yet to play in the championship, in a 14-man squad. Former West Indies batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan has returned home. Gloucestershire have added off-spinner Jack Taylor to the side that beat Northamptonshire last week.
