Seconds win by one-wicket!

The young Derbyshire second team won an extraordinary one-wicket victory over SACA at Chesterfield today. 

59-3 overnight quickly became 68-4 with the wicket of Zak Chappell, before Niall McHale (37) shared in a stand of 64 with Mitch Wagstaff. 

When the former was dismissed, Joe Hawkins quickly followed, before 15-year old Theo Brown came in to share a stand of 85 with Wagstaff.

The latter proceeded to an excellent century before being dismissed for 105, which brought together Brown and George Blount. Their stand of 68 took Derbyshire to within ten runs of the win, before Blount was run out, then Brown was dismissed for an outstanding 87. 

It left Jake Green and Sam Keeling-Wright to seal the one-wicket win, after a wonderful game of cricket.
