Wagstaff century lights up day two

Mitch Wagstaff scored a second successive century for the second team at Lady Bay today. 

Derbyshire declared on 266-5, in reply to Nottinghamshire's 319-6 declared.

Wagstaff's innings included 16 fours and a six, across five and a quarter hours  for his unbeaten 113. He was well supported by Yusuf bin Naeem (50) and Amrit Basra (58). He is doing all he can to knock on the first team door and if the runs continue to come, opportunity should follow. 

The frustration from his perspective is that no one in the first eleven is horribly out of form. There have been times over the 60 years I have watched the county when his current run would have easily got him into the side.

Nottinghamshire finished the day 87-0, a lead of 140 going into the last day.

  1. At least one interesting lbw decision. Not sure Basra will be sending the umpire a Christmas card!

    1. Yes, I think that shout was...optimistic. It cut back a LONG way and *might* have hit a 4th stump...
