They lost a few overs for morning rain in Bristol, but Jack Morley still managed 6-55 as the home side were bundled out for 187. In reply Gloucestershire took two evening wickets, but Derbyshire still happily on top at 116-2.
Dane Vilas has had an instant impact on his Middlesex side who were bailed out by Joe Cracknell’s 106* and Luke Holman’s 51 to go from 33-3 to 397-8, a decent score against any ball. Liam Guthrie’s 6-87 was clearly exceptional, he just lacked help from the rest of the Northants attack.
Blackpoolians had the rare chance to see new temporary skipper Sir Jimmy Anderson bowl at their club ground today, but Lancashire’s match with Kent was curtailed due to heavy afternoon rain. Ben Compton will resume 86* tomorrow with Kent 213-3.
It is right in the balance after day one at Grace Road, 21-year-old Jersey international Asa Tribe notching his maiden first-class century as Glamorgan finished 305-5 v Leicestershire.
