Winning the toss, they elected to bowl and put the visitors out for 269. George Bell made 76 but the bowling was keen. Former Sussex left arm seamer Will Rogers took three, but the talking point was two wickets on his return to action from Ben Aitchison. He also held two very sharp catches at slip, on a return he will be delighted with. Pat Brown and Alex Thomson also took two wickets each, the latter skippering the side.
When Derbyshire went in, Mitch Wagstaff showed nice touch with his first half century of the summer. He and Yusaf Bin Naeem added an unbroken 106 runs for the second wicket, after Will Tarrant was dismissed by Blatherwick.
At the close, Derbyshire were 135-1 with Wagstaff on 69 and Bin Naeem 37.
A good day's work, consolidating a fine start to the summer all round.
Potts playing, but didn't bowl?
ReplyDeleteI noticed that, maybe picked up an injury in the field? I don't know though
DeleteWhat has happened to Ajay Khunti, who scored a couple of hundreds last year and averaged well over a 100
ReplyDeleteHe isn't contracted so I guess can only play when free. This would be a good summer to impress, with several contracts expiring and more money available for new ones...
