Ahead of day three, Derbyshire are 205-5 in their second innings, with Anuj Dal unbeaten on 106 and Joe Hawkins, recently selected for England under 19s, with him on 27.
It followed a first innings of 227, in which Blair Tickner top scored on 51*, with Dal making 47.
In between, Yorkshire made 286, with Hawkins the pick of the bowlers with 2-24. Matt Stewart also did well, with 2-27 in ten overs and the wickets of Bean and Vagadia. It is so good to see the young Academy talent starting to come through. I assume Matt is a late, in-game replacement for Luis Reece, as he didn't start the match, according to the scorecard, at least
So Derbyshire are 146 runs ahead with all results possible.
The only worry is that Luis Reece bowled only one over after making a duck in the first innings. Maybe a precaution, but we must hope for positive news in the next few days.
I’ve not seen anyone mention it but The Grumbler’s County Cricket substack on Twitter/X posted two days ago, had a link in it to a Daily Mail cricket transfer rumours article. At the bottom of the article, it says that Luis Reece has signed a new contract at Derbyshire. I’ve not seen it mentioned elsewhere.

Don't tend to read the Mail, Gareth but it makes sense. Luis is a loyal lad and with him top of batting and bowling, we will want to retain his services. Hope it is true, daresay the club will announce it in due course if so
DeleteNoticed the one over for Reece and then him not coming out to bat in the top 7, immediately setting off alarm bells…hopefully just precaution 🤞
