Swann back for Notts
Nottinghamshire revert to the side that won the season's opener for this week's LV County Championship game against Lancashire.
With Ryan Sidebottom and Stuart Broad on England duty Darren Pattinson and Paul Franks come back in the line-up at Trent Bridge.
Pattinson missed out on the match against Yorkshire despite taking eight for 85 on his first class debut in the 10-wicket victory over Kent.
The other change sees Graeme Swann, who was on England Lions duty last week, return in favour of Bilal Shafayat.
Injury-hit Lancashire have yet to name their starting line-up with four front-line seamers ruled out and Jimmy Anderson on England duty.
Andrew Flintoff (side strain), Kyle Hogg (hamstring), Glen Chapple (groin) and Tom Smith (thigh) are all sidelined meaning veteran Dominic Cork could have his first taste of cricket this summer.
The all-rounder is set to start after recovering from a side strain and could form a bowling attack consisting of Steven Croft, Sajid Mahmood and Oliver Newby, who has also had a side problem.
South African batsman Francois Du Plessis is in line for his championship debut after making 77 not out in the Lightning's FP Trophy win over Yorkshire.
