Derbyshire gave themselves a chance of victory when they

held Leicestershire to 118-6 in their Twenty20 Cup match at the

County Ground.

Skipper Rikki Clarke opted to put the Foxes in after winning

the toss and a combination of a fierce crossfield wind and a

lethargic opposition combined to make it a less than thrilling

spectacle.

HD Ackerman batted all the way through the Leicestershire

innings for 49 not out off 44 balls, with six fours, but only

James Taylor, with 22, made any other impression with the

bat.

Wavell Hinds' medium pace brought him 2-14 in his four overs.
