Another wash out at Hartlepool

Another rain ruined draw for the second team against Durham at Hartlepool today.

Harry Came again lost the toss and the home side opted to bat. They had reached 53-2 in the sixth over before the rains came, both wickets falling to Matt Stewart, who has been in fine form this summer. 

The only other point of interest was that the sixth over was bowled by Luis Reece. Hopefully the start of a welcome bowling come back in time for the resumption of red ball cricket

Seconds settle for share of points at Hartlepool

Derbyshire's second team had to settle for a share of the points, as rain ran out the winner at Hartlepool today.

Batting first after Durham won the toss, Derbyshire amassed 180-6 in their 20 overs. Yusuf Bin Naeem hit Duane Olivier for 4 sixes on his way to 33 from 18 deliveries, while Harry Came made 25 and Luis Reece 37. 

Brooke Guest marshalled the lower order in making an unbeaten 40, before the innings came to a close. Olivier finished with 1-40 in his three overs...

When Durham went in, they were quickly in trouble and were 11-2 in the third over before rain ended proceedings. Both Matt Stewart and Rory Haydon took a wicket and Derbyshire will have fancied their chances at that stage.

The two teams meet again on the same ground tomorrow, weather permitting.
