Trott keeps Derbyshire on toes
It was another day of drudgery for the Derbyshire bowlers on
the second day of their LV County Championship match against
Warwickshire at Edgbaston.
Jon Trott extended his marathon stay to reach his third century
of the season and, at tea, he was 160 not out in a score of
447-7.
Having restricted the home side to 209-3 overnight, a burst of
3-8 in five overs gave Derbyshire a reward for their tight
discipline with the ball.
Charl Langeveldt broke the fourth-wicket stand of 94 in 38
overs between Trott and Jim Troughton when he had Troughton lbw
for 35 in the fifth over with the new ball.
Three overs later, Graham Wagg had Tim Ambrose caught at
midwicket by Dan Redfern for five and Langeveldt followed up by
trapping former Derbyshire player Ant Botha for a duck to make
it 240-6.
Langeveldt gave Ian Salisbury a torrid time to begin with but
the Warwickshire player went on to score 64 before he skied a
pull at Jon Clare and was caught by wicketkeeper Tom New at
350-7.
