Bangladesh chase victory target

Bangladesh A were set 285 to win off 77 overs after Derbyshire declared their second innings on 176-8 on the final day of their match at the County Ground.

Chris Rogers was 39 not out and Nayan Doshi 17 not out when Derbyshire backed out. The only wicket of the morning came when Dan Birch, batting with a runner because of a swollen knee, was bowled by Rubel Hossain for three.

Bangladeshi openers Tamim Iqbal (60) and Junaid Siddique (25) made good progress to put on 84 for the first wicket in 21 overs but both fell in quick succession to Jake Needham.

But Bangladesh stayed in the hunt, even though Greg Smith struck in his first over to remove Nazimuddin and added the scalp of Shakib Al Hasan, a second neat stumping for young wicketkeeper Tom Poynton.

Raqibul Hassan was lbw not offering a shot to Wayne White but at 187-5 at tea, needing 98 runs to win off 28 overs, the contest was still in the balance.
