Hard work for Derbyshire
Derbyshire were made to stay patient on the first day of
their LV County Championship match against Warwickshire at
Edgbaston.
By tea, Warwickshire, who won the toss, had grafted to
187-3, with Jon Trott 55 not out and Jim Troughton 12 not
out.
Graham Wagg marked his first Championship appearance on the
ground since he left in 2004 with the first wicket in the sixth
over, as Ian Westwood drove him to second slip Rikki Clarke for
five at 9-1.
Warwickshire had to be watchful in the swinging conditions but
Darren Maddy and Tony Frost put on 73 in 21 overs before
Derbyshire took their second wicket.
Frost had made 25 before mistiming a pull at Wavell Hinds to
Paul Borrington at midwicket at 82-2.
Maddy made it to 73 before he cut loosely at a Jon Clare ball
and was caught by Wagg at backward point at 138-3 but that was
Derbyshire's only success of the session.
