    Massive cockup between the player and Middlesex, meaning he'll miss the rest of the season, including the 50 over final.

    By confirming that du Plooy wanted to play for SA again, he automatically became overseas again, but they then missed the deadline to register him...

    5 penalty runs have been awarded against us for Ahmed throwing the ball, after it has been hit back at him, and hitting the batter.

    122-4 (41)

    If we can go "bang bang" fairly soon then one would like to think that we would have a decent chance of wrapping the innings up with the pace we have given Derbyshire's tail:

    Aitchison - 16.42 av
    Randell - 16.64 av
    Bashir - 7.92 av
    Morley - 8.62 av

    If I were Morley, I would have the raging hump about Bashir batting above me!

    Reece 26 off 100 balls makes Compton look like Harry Brook!

    Foreman has bowled very well with a lot of control, which you need to give the quicks a rest and something that Parkinson can lack at times. Figures of 14-2-30-1

    I'm really glad we played the spinner. No bowling side needs a 5th seamer, as if the pitch is offering massive seam  bowling assistance, you can play the extra batsman instead, and if it goes flat when the ball is old, then the spinner is essential.

    Also helps our over rate too.

    BBC also very complimentary about Foreman a bit earlier:

    “Bertie Foreman continues to impress, just going for a few singles, tying up an end, making you wonder why Sussex let him go, but sadly finances probably came into that.

    Also with Shoaib Bashir and Jack Morley in the Derbyshire side it of course makes sense that the pitch is going to take some turn.”

    190-7 (63) at tea. Derbyshire might have had the odd partnership but we've never let them get away from us.

    2 bowling points so far. Let’s hope our bowlers mop up the tail quickly so 1) we get the third bowling point and 2) we can aim for batting points and a decent first innings lead.

    Just as I was typing out "We need a wicket here" Randell finds Ekansh in the field for 29 off the bowling of Foreman

    No longer is fielding seen as the third discipline so, ideally, you'd want a "gun" fielder or two to come on as 12th men and replace those "injured" quick bowlers in the field.

    In the last match we had Ekansh, Foreman and Ahmed. In this one we have Dudgeon, Quinn and Parkinson. Especially at home, if we have too many athletically challenged cricketers remaining from the match squad, it's actually worth adding a Dawkins, Jaydn and Finch (albeit the latter two are currently injured).

    Ahmed bowls Morley to take his third wicket

    Unfortunately, Worcs have once again demonstrated their lack of a "backbone" in going from 103-2 to 150-9 against Northants. They are currently 171-9.

    A bit annoying Compton got out - he had to stay in as we need runs. Ah well, tomorrow we see what the wicket plays like.
