The John Player League featuring
Derbyshire v Warwickshire
Warwickshire finished sixth in the John Player League last season and Derbyshire ninth. Although both teams will inevitably suffer through loss of Test players, there is plenty of strength still available with highest-paid cricketer Eddie Barlow for Derbyshire, and, if not selected for the Test team, Dennis Amiss , out to prove he should not be overlooked.
PETER WALKER introduces the programme which includes news of today's other fixtures:
