Replying to the Nottinghamshire total of 284 all out, we finished on 336-8. It was a curious innings, with the highest score after the 136 of Hughes and 112 of Reece being an unbeaten 21 from Sam Conners.
Both were good efforts, against an attack featuring Ben Hutton, Tom Barber, Peter Trego and Liam Patterson-White, though it was giant (6'7) former Oxford University seamer Toby Pettman who took centre stage with 5-30.
Reece hit thirteen fours and two sixes, while Hughes hit eighteen fours and a six in their fine knocks. Both were reminders, after a challenging season for Derbyshire batsmen, that we do have players, who can bat time and build an innings.
Long may that continue to be the case.
