Yorkshire v Derbyshire day 2

Yorkshire 288-4 (Malan 153*)

v Derbyshire

Only one over possible at Headingley today, in which Dawid Malan passed 150. 

Bad light then ended play early, after rain prevented a start until the afternoon. 

As I said last night, the likely result is now a draw, unless someone on one side does something spectacular. For both sides, first innings bonus points and those from the draw are of real value and I don't see us pulling out short of going for maximum batting points. Yorkshire look set for those and will close the gap on us accordingly. 

Heavy rain is due overnight in Leeds with more forecast on Tuesday afternoon.

I will be back tomorrow.

  1. Can you imagine the meltdown on sky if Derbyshire finish top of their group at least playing all of the matches away from home means the ECB can’t interfere and deduct Derbyshire points for alleged poor pitches
