Leeds/Bradford UCCE 200-7 (Pearson 44, Carney 40)
v Derbyshire
The sixth wicket stand between Carney and Pearson reached 83 in 35 overs of laudable defiance, before both went within four balls. The former went to a fine catch from Donald at mid wicket, before Guest held a tumbling effort down the leg side to see Pearson 'strangled' from the bowling of Andersson.
It looked bitterly cold and there would have been little disappointment among the players when heavy rain took them off, eventually for the day.
The high point was to see in social media footage the first nets of Caleb Jewell and Mohammad Abbas, the latter wearing a bobble hat, though not obviously a body warmer that could have proven useful.
Hopefully tomorrow will see a day of batting practice for Derbyshire, before thoughts turn to the season opener proper against Worcestershire on Friday.
Hopefully the weather warms up a little in between times...
Tomorrow’s forecast looks reasonable but Thursday onwards rain is forecast over the weekend going into the following week
