Alex Thomson made his debut for Derbyshire and contributed an important 32 down the order in a total of 151-9. Fynn Hudson-Prentice top-scored with 60 from 46 balls, as Griffith and Rhodes each took three wickets for the hosts. They will be concerned that their Afghan T20 professional, Naveen-ul-Haq, went for 38 in his four wicket-less overs.
Thomson then took the new ball and had Patel leg before with his first delivery. His first two overs in the Powerplay cost only two runs, as Derbyshire bowled very tightly.
Hudson-Prentice removed Lilley and Steel, Melton removed Dearden and Scrimshaw did the same for Rhodes, as Leicestershire slipped to 27-5. Despite 41 from Bates, there was no let up as the innings closed with the home side on 119-9.
All the bowlers did well, but Thomson's 1-14 was especially impressive, as was the 3-13 of McKiernan, both in four overs. Hudson-Prentice followed his fine knock with 2-35 and several players are clearly taking the opportunity to stake a claim when the senior action starts.
Derbyshire side: Came, Wood, du Plooy, Hudson-Prentice, McKiernan, Thomson, Priestley, Hutchinson, Melton, Smale, Scrimshaw
