Derbyshire wrap up innings win over Kent
Rothesay County Championship Division Two, County Ground, Derby (day four) Derbyshire 587-5 dec: Jewell 232, Madsen 100, Came 89, Lloyd 50, Reece 50 Kent 326 & 247 (f/o): Muyeye 55, Compton 49, Stewart 49; Reece 3-21 Derbyshire (23 pts) beat Kent (2 pts) by an innings and 14 runs Match scorecard Luis Reece led Derbyshire's victory charge as they rolled over Kent before lunch on the final day of the County Championship Division Two match at Derby. The all-rounder picked up two wickets to claim outstanding figures of 3-21 from 10 overs as they beat the visitors by an innings and 14 runs After Zak Chappell struck with the first ball of the day, Kent folded in feeble fashion, losing four wickets in eight overs, to slump to 247-9, with the injured Jake Ball unable to bat. It was Derbyshire's second win of the season, taking them above Glamorgan to second in the table, while Kent have now lost four matches in a row. Their slide to another defeat started when Tawanda Muyeye was caught behind taking on a short ball from Chappell. Muyeye clearly thought it had come off his shoulder but given his side were still 104 runs behind with three wickets already down, it was not a great shot for the situation. That was a straightforward catch for Brooke Guest but the wicketkeeper took a much sharper one five overs later standing up to Reece when Chris Benjamin pushed forward and edged into his gloves. Kent's hopes of at least frustrating Derbyshire now rested with Jack Leaning and Harry Finch but the pair were quickly parted with Reece celebrating a second success of the morning. Leaning failed to get over a drive and substitute fielder Nick Potts took a good tumbling catch diving forward at deep mid-off. Derbyshire were now all over the visitors and in the next over, Finch went to turn Anuj Dal off his legs but the ball came off his thigh pad and onto the stumps. Matt Parkinson had resisted well as nightwatchman in the first innings but this time he lasted only seven balls before he went half forward to Jack Morley and was lbw. Grant Stewart struck some muscular blows, pulling Pat Brown for six, but the end came 15 minutes before the interval when he sliced the fast bowler to third man where Potts pulled off a superb diving catch.

Only Rob Keogh's battling unbeaten 53 held the innings together, offering some hope going into day two. Earlier left-arm quick Liam Guthrie struck twice in his opening spell in his first match in Northamptonshire colours, cleaning up England Test opener Zak Crawley for one in just the third over of the never looked comfortable against the Australian and fell playing a booming drive to an in-swinger which knocked two stumps out of the kept the scoreboard ticking before skipper Daniel Bell-Drummond was caught behind pushing outside off-stump to give Guthrie his second scalp. Justin Broad then accounted for Ben Compton with a full one which nipped back and knocked over though started to find their groove, helped by some wayward bowling with Leaning taking three boundaries off one over from Leech while Muyeye brought up a fluent half century off just 60 lunch Northamptonshire temporarily put the brake on scoring with Guthrie almost picking up Muyeye on 57, but James Sales could not hold on at first started flowing again though as the Kent pair brought up their 100-stand, before Weatherall's triple breakthrough. Finding plenty of bounce and movement, the 20-year-old showed off the extra yard of pace he added during the Leaning played down the wrong line and was caught behind. In his next over Weatherall speared one back in to send Muyeye's off-stump between Joey Evison also fell to a needless run-out thanks to a relay effort between Procter and Broad with a direct the first ball of his next over, Weatherall hit the top off Stewart's off-stump. He almost picked up Keith Dudgeon later in the over but Broad shelled an easy chance at third slip. The Kent collapse continued when Leech had Harry Finch caught in the (26) and Singh staged a late fightback, adding 34 for the ninth wicket before left-arm spinner Saif Zaib nipped in to claim the final two wickets in two balls although Northamptonshire were left to rue the 38 runs they conceded in extras. In reply, Procter took consecutive boundaries off each of Nathan Gilchrist's first two overs, but Northamptonshire lost an early wicket during a testing spell from South African paceman bowled Ricardo Vasconcelos, breaking middle stump in the process before Procter was next to go when Stewart bowled him with his first bowlers continued to build pressure, but the next wicket fell to a strangle down the legside when George Bartlett was caught behind off Stewart. Sales then clipped Singh straight to Evison at short Zaib was well bowled by Gilchrist and while Lewis McManus played his shots, he departed in similar fashion to Sales, this time off Evison. Singh picked up Broad without scoring just before Keogh battled hard after being struck on the hand, playing some attractive shots, to keep the innings afloat heading into day Reporters Network supported by Rothesay
