Cardiff UCCE 258 (Banton 75, Bevans 68 Hutchinson 3-17, Sylvester 3-31)
Derbyshire lead by 83 runs
This has been a good work out and two nicely balanced sides, with Derbyshire'mix of half staff players and the others from the academy getting a good work out from the students.
Seamers Hutchinson and Sylvester bowled splendidly for Derbyshire, who made regular inroads into the visiting batting. They recovered well from 127-6 to get close to the home total and it has made for a fascinating final day tomorrow, weather permitting.
It will be another part of the learning curve for the younger players in facing batsmen hopefully going for a target, while for senior bowlers Melton, Hughes and McKiernan it is a chance for another early season bowl.
It was disappointing to see Wood dismissed in the day's closing overs, but he has runs in him when the season gets into swing.
More from me tomorrow.
