    what does everyone think they'll need to make it hard going for Northants?

    A lead of 300 or even 350 would be good?
    I'd take 300

    Anything that makes them hurry. Vasconcelos is very solid but his strike rate is less than 3 an over. If (a big if) Derby can bat out today that could set N’hants more than 4 an over.
    And wouldn’t you credit it, Derby have lost another wicket.

    Are we in a bidding war?

    I'll take 400.

    Northants are decent batting side.

    I think @Fanny Fanackapan needs to dust down her tutu

    Wonder if there's a thread on Northampton Life where Cobblers Cobbler was updating on the Kent score while others followed along hoping for Crawley to get out cheaply

    I hadn't realised that Derbyshire's century maker in the first innings, had been replaced in the game shortly following that due to a groin strain by Nick Potts

    196-7 for a lead of 258

    Northants will chase down whatever their target is.

    Elsewhere, Glamorgan batted on and on and on against Surrey, finishing on 594, leaving Surrey a ludicrous 612 to win. Glamorgan only need the draw to stay up.

    A bizarre pitch, when the scores are 132, 115, 594.

    Especially as Glamorgan were dismissed in their last match for 65 & 69 respectively

    The Oval has been weird all season but no pitch investigations there 🤔

    Not having a “Bollywood” event on it 4 days before a match will have helped. But I’ve got huge sympathy for Leics. As I did for Durham all those years ago when they were so disproportionately punished by the ECB for doing what the ECB wanted them to do, invest heavily to upgrade Chester-le-Street to a test venue and wreck their finances.
    ECB. Couldn’t run a whelk stall.

    Going to be supporting my team in person on Wednesday. No, not Charlton. Bring it on, gang 
    We would, of course, like to wish you every good luck but as we aren't hypocrites we won't.

    Seb's mate George O'Connor, from their time together in Australia, is playing for Worcs 2s today along with George Ealham who must have half a dozen county second XIs now to his name. 


    Hope Kent haven't missed out on one in George O'Connor! He's come in as an injury sub mid-match for Worcs against Durham for what is his FC debut and has just cleaned up Mayank Agarwal. Not a bad batter to make your first victim given he averages 41.33 in Test cricket

    That's a big fourth innings target - I think it's looking good (or at least better) for Derbyshire.

    Can someone turn on a sprinkler in the morning and flood the square?

    Derbyshire have taken off Muhammad Abbas because he was proving a bit expensive with figures of 5-4-1-0

    Annoyingly I can see Northants getting these. Especially with Aitchinson unable to bowl.

    37-0 (16) at close. Another 312 runs required.
