Shahzad and Bairstow back for Yorkshire as Sayers limps out

Joe Sayers will not be able to build on his encouraging performance at Lancashire after injury ruled him out of Yorkshire’s four-day game with Somerset, which begins Tuesday.

Opening batsman Sayers suffered a bang on the foot in the Roses match and is out.

Ajmal Shahzad and Jonny Bairstow are back from England Lions duty to bolster a squad that has won only one of six games.

Yorkshire: Lyth, Root, McGrath, Gale (captain), Bairstow, Ballance, Rashid, Shahzad, Sidebottom, Patterson, Hannon-Dalby, Ashraf, Wainwright.
