CricInfo Championship Division Two second-placed Hampshire hosts basement-strugglers Derbyshire at the Rose Bowl and welcome back Alan Mullally from international duty to the 12.

Despite his seven wicket haul last week against Durham, Chris Tremlett is the likely candidate to miss out as Hampshire attempt to close the gap on leaders Middlesex.

The hosts will be looking to re-enact their nine-wicket victory over the same opponents last month.

Derbyshire are without skipper Dominic Cork, who is absent through injury. Chris Bassano, the South African born batsmen who created a new record last week by hitting two centuries on his Championship debut unsurprisingly holds his place.

Hampshire: Giles White, Derek Kenway, Will Kendall, Robin Smith (capt), Neil Johnson, Laurie Prittipaul, Adrian Aymes (w-k), Dimitri Mascarenhas, Shaun Udal, Alex Morris, Alan Mullally, Chris Tremlett

Derbyshire: Stephen Stubbings, Luke Sutton (w-k), Michael Di Venuto, Chris Bassano, Matthew Dowman, Rob Bailey, Graeme Welch, Nathan Dumelow, Paul Aldred, Alex Edwards, Tim Munton (capt)
