Graham Wagg and Jon Clare both completed maiden first-class

hundreds on the second morning of Derbyshire's LV County

Championship match at Northampton to take them to a total of

485-7 declared.

Wagg was first to his century as he pulled a ball from Johann

van der Wath for his 13th four to add to four sixes. He had

faced 129 balls but, two overs later, he danced down the wicket

to Nicky Boje and was stumped for 108 - having added one more

boundary.

The seventh-wicket stand was worth 203 but Clare was untroubled

by the loss of his partner and a nudged single off Andrew Hall

took him to three figures for the first time.

He had faced 148 balls and hit 15 fours.

Clare came out to push the score along after lunch

and added an unbroken 71 for the eighth wicket with

Jake Needham (24 not out). Clare was 129 not out, which

included 19 fours.

Rain and bad light hit the start of Northants' reply but they

reached tea at 38-0 with 19 each for Stephen Peters and Niall

O'Brien.
