There was just enough time between the rain for

Derbyshire to get into trouble on the first morning of their LV

County Championship match against Leicestershire at the County

Ground.

Only 8.2 overs were bowled in the morning session and

Derbyshire were 19-2 after being put in to bat.

It was soon clear the decision to bowl was the right one, with

plenty of swing and decent bounce and in the second over after

a first rain break, Dan Birch was beaten by away swing from

Nadeem Malik and caught behind for three at 6-1.

Three overs later, Tom Smith, on loan from Lancashire, found a

beauty to take the shoulder of Dominic Telo's bat and he was

caught at second slip by Boeta Dippenaar for eight at 15-2.
