You can eye it up all you like but they're only available in first 110 overs and we're not into the 113th over.

Declare at close and then attack them again in the morning all over by close tomorrow.

Not if the weather forecast has a say

 

[CHAPPERS]

Amazing and damaging to have batted on.

 

[BensGrandad]

I just entered Derby weather forecast in google and it came up with cooler and short sharp occasional showers so take wickets between showers.

As soon as I sent it, I clocked it. But you could have let it lie?

Funny enough I am sure that's what Mark Davis implied when he was interviewed in the cometary box - it was like he has a more accurate weather forecast, and perhaps why he carried on batting. Hoping to bowl them out without batting again.

Hatchett's Pfeiffer (5 for 58) from day one highlights on you tube now - lets hope we can get some play today

Not even sure how many records were broken by the batsmen yesterday but it was hopefully what will fill the summer months

Derbyshire 191

Sussex 468/5 (122.0 ov)

Sussex lead by 277 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

I assume the fact that the commentary is playing Talking Heads 'Were on a road to nowhere' means its raining

Yes - 'start delayed by rain'.

As this is also the case at Edgbaston, Lords, Canterbury, Chelmsford, Leicester and Cardiff, chances of imminent play seem remote.

 

[Eeyore]

Rotten forecast for Derby over the next 48 hours.
