Fixtures don't come more traditional than this, featuring the two counties who have won the Championship most often. Both have realistic ambitions of adding to their respective tallies, though Surrey made it four draws in as many matches when they failed to capture Hampshire's last two wickets at the Rose Bowl last week. However, Mark Ramprakash is now only one short of his century of centuries while Usman Afzaal has chipped in with runs as he bids to rekindle his career after leaving Northants. Nothing would please Darren Gough more than to lead a title-winning Yorkshire side in his final season. Jacques Rudolph can deliver the necessary weight of runs aided by a sturdy middle-order while Adil Rashid could press his claim as a potential England leg spinner-batsman. Just over a year ago, Yorkshire inflicted Surrey's heaviest defeat since 1911, winning at the Oval by 346 runs. Don't expect anything quite so sensational here. Andrew Shields
