The three-day friendly saw Derbyshire use eight different bowlers and they kept the home batting in check with a disciplined attack. So much so that Nottinghamshire had only reached 67-0 in 29 overs of graft by lunch.
A concern afterwards was that Nye Donald was replaced by Joe Hall as wicketkeeper after injury. I don't know any further details at this stage, but the county can do without anything else that is going to be medium to long term.
Sam Seecharan made an excellent century and Ben Martindale contributed a half century, with further contributions down the order as Nottinghamshire closed at 319-6.
There were two wickets each for Nick Potts and Joe Hawkins, while Mitch Wagstaff and trialist James Trodd took a wicket each. Trodd is from Hampshire and last year played for the second teams of his home county, Kent and Gloucestershire. He is a left-arm fast medium bowler and left handed bat.
One assumes that it will be Derbyshire's turn to bat tomorrow and I hope that they acquit themselves equally well.
